CASE STUDY

Learn how Big Team has been supporting companies within the live event industry with EDI and best practice in open recruitment. Through this work, they have created opportunities for young people who face barriers entering the industry, supporting their access and ongoing development. Big Team is focused on helping young people build sustainable, long-term careers – not just one-off opportunities.

Big Team actively works to diversify the people who create, contribute, and attend festivals, including major events such as Forwards Festival, Waterworks, Love Saves the Day, and Silver Hayes at Glastonbury. They help 18–30 year olds from groups that are currently under-represented to forge paths in the industry and collaborate with industry partners to develop more inclusive festival environments.
