Your Creative Identity - Personal Branding and Portfolios
Discover your creative strengths and potential career paths with Creative Portal. Meet creative professionals, tackle team challenges and pitch your ideas while developing teamwork, problem-solving and communication skills.
18 November 2026 10:00 - 14:00
Online / Remote Insight Day
Age 14 - 19
Deadline for sign-ups: 28 October
Forget "what job do you want?" for a day. This is about something more interesting: what makes you, you. In four hours online, you'll discover how your creative brain works, put it to the test with young people from across the UK, and leave with your own Creative Potential DNA, a snapshot of your strengths and the careers you could start exploring.
What you'll do:
- Take a fun, game-style quiz that reveals your creative type. Are you an Imaginer, a Maker, a Storyteller, a Challenger, or a mix?
- Meet a real creative professional from Creative Portal and hear how their strengths shaped their career.
- Team up in breakout rooms to tackle a real-world challenge, like turning an empty shop into something the town actually wants.
- Pitch your team's idea and find out what role you naturally take in a group.
- Build your personal Creative Passport, your ticket into the Career Rabbit Hole (eight insight events running February–April 2027 no experience needed)
There are no right answers. You don't even need to think of yourself as "creative" yet. Skills you'll build are teamwork, problem-solving, communication, presenting ideas, and a clearer sense of what you're good at and how to talk about it, which will help with applications, interviews and personal statements.
