Work in a Changing World

Students from the Connie Rothman Learning Trust will take part in two interactive filmmaking workshops led by staff from Bournemouth University’s Faculty of Media & Communication. Over the course of the sessions, they will use AI tools to generate images of the future world of work and their own place within it. These images will inspire discussion, reflection, and short films structured around both the opportunities and challenges that AI might bring to working life.

The workshops are designed to be creative and inclusive, helping students to develop media and storytelling skills while building confidence in expressing their ideas. Those who wish to share their work will be invited to take part in a screening, where the films will be showcased to a wider audience.

This event encourages young people to think critically about the future of work in an AI-driven world. Through film and digital storytelling, they will reflect on both the benefits and risks of emerging technologies, while imagining how their own working lives may take shape.

The project highlights the voices of students in a specialist education environment, providing a supportive space for creativity, collaboration, and future-facing reflection.
