Channel 4’s current Education commitment includes peaktime programmes, the morning schedule for schools, and new media initiatives. Peaktime education programmes are commissioned by the relevant genre departments (including History, Science, Documentaries, Features and Factual Entertainment), and content for 14 – 19 year olds are commissioned by the Education Department.
About C4 Education:
How we’ve done it in the past:
Channel 4 Education is known for taking a bold approach to learning, commissioning such titles as Batty Man, Crip on a Trip, and Teen Taboos, which explore real issues such as sex, drugs, culture and disability, that aim to tackle subjects sometimes missing from the more formal curriculum, as well as offering new approaches to traditional subjects such as history.
What C4 Education did next…
In 2008 we embarked on a new strategy to reach and engage with 14 – 19 year olds on their own terms.
We have shifted the focus of our commissioning approach from solely linear TV programmes, to innovative cross-platform projects that encourage a two-way participation, and offer the chance to stimulate conversation around learning experiences, rather than to simply dictate learning.
We are not putting ‘TV on the web’ but rather want to employ creative and distinctive ways of offering educative content to teens, focussing on issues derived from their needs and desires that may be outside the more formal education curriculum.
Unfortunately we're fully commissioned for 2008 but we will be announcing dates later for briefing sessions in autumn for 2009 proposals.
