Participation & Engagement

 

Welcome to our Participation & Engagement hub!

On these pages, you will find information about workshops, how to get involved, courses that we're running and training opportunities - plus more!

 

At Sheffield DocFest, we believe documentary film and art should be open, inclusive, and inspiring for everyone.

 

From community engagement projects and dedicated workshops to targeted talent schemes, our strands of Participation & Engagement work are designed to broaden access, nurture talent, and celebrate community creativity year-round.
