Access to UK Professional Creative, Design & Digital Projects

Introduction to
TICE International

TICE International is a great way to bring international schools and UK industry-focused creative, design and digital projects to young learners. All project briefs are supported and co-designed by the TICE team and professional designers and creatives from companies throughout the UK, working on a universal creative platform. In addition, engaged in various projects are UK higher educational institutions willing to support feedback alongside creative professionals with submissions from classrooms across the globe.

How does it work?

TICE International is an annual subscription-based service exclusively for international schools interested in providing their students access to ‘live projects’ co-written by creative professionals and brands worldwide. Each school can choose the level of subscription they require and select from a wide range of portfolio enhancing briefs.

GAIN INSIGHT, EXPLORE AND CREATE ON A GLOBAL PLATFORM

All project briefs are aimed Year 9/ Grade 8 and above. TICE International is particularly suited to students who are pursuing or exploring a creative, design or digital future and applying for creative courses at university. With now over 82% of international students applying to U.K or U.S.A higher educational institutions, young people and universities alike are looking for exciting, trend driven and industry led portfolio work to help them stand out.
TICE can support students with coursework, EPQ's, work experience, Arts Award, employer engagement and more.

Professional feedback, exclusive TICE projects

For students, TICE International can help develop their core skills and an appreciation for cultural creative diversity, develop their portfolios with unique industry-led projects and gather feedback from professionals in their fields. For teachers, international collaboration is a useful way of growing professionally, developing industry contacts and sharing knowledge and employer engagement with an international audience.

What are the industry projects like?

TICE projects emphasise the topics, issues and trends prominent in society today and more importantly for students, how they will evolve in the future by using industry-sourced trend-prediction to highlight changes in up-and-coming sectors.

In doing this, student gain access to industry professionals who showcase how they do their jobs through challenges and tasks supported by brands worldwide. They gain skills, knowledge and awareness directly from people in industry willingly to share their professional insight.

By choosing a project that stimulates their personal interests and aspirations, also subjects they feel passionate about, the students gain a wealth of experience but most importantly develop an understanding of a career path they previously would not have known existed.

Examples of projects

Our projects change each and every year moving with industry and exploring the skills and topics their sector is looking for in young people wishing to enter these careers. Once a school has chosen which creative area (s) they would like to explore there is then an array of projects for the students to choose from. Here's a small selection of some of the recent projects:

Fashion Communication, Editorial & Fashion Photogrpahy

Fashion activism is the practice of using fashion as a means of awareness or social change and fashion labels have increasingly begun taking political stances and using their status to instil social change or send positive messages. Working with iconic fashion brand Bella Freud, this project is based on fashion activism. Here you will explore fashion identity, fashion photography and fashion editorial.

SONGWRITING, LYRICS, COMPOSTION & SNGING

Supported by Universal Publishing Group, this project is aimed squarely at the person that feels like they have something they simply have to say and has a passion for song craft. Musicians have always found the song form to be a particularly powerful way of raising social issues. A song has the unique ability to have lyrics that really express a point of view and the musical aspect that can help enhance the emotion, be that making it sombre and heartfelt, or being aggressive and powerful.

ART DOCUMENTARY & EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

The Aviary Gallery asks you to focus on reflecting upon what we have experienced and learned about ourselves and those close to us through the period of mass isolation and social distancing. This project introduces you to documentary photography capturing real-life situations, communicating a story about the world in which we live and bringing to light some otherwise hidden reality, a disappearing or unknown world.

Graphic & Communication Design. City & Urban Branding.

Urban branding is a process used by communication designers to turn somewhere from a location into a destination. Over the past year, we have been relying on our local communities more than ever – but how much do you know about the area around you? Utilising Communication Design, you will be supported in creating either a visual identity or storytelling experience centred around the place you call home.

Choose your subscription

Once subscribed, each school will be given access to their account with personal login details. Within each account will be the projects for this academic year, guidelines, resources list and online tutorials.

Annual Subscriptions start from as little as £800 giving immediate access to projects written by worldwide brands, organisations and industry professionals for young people.
