๐Two connected pathways. One evolving ecosystem.
DRIFT brings together immersive innovation and future skills through two connected organisations โ Drift Escapes and Drift Academy & Media CIC.
Each has a different role, but they are designed to work together. Ideas, skills, technology, experiences and real-world challenges can move between both sides of the ecosystem.
๐ Drift Escapes โ The Immersive Innovation Side
Drift Escapes is the immersive and experimental side of DRIFT โ developing future-facing experiences, environments and new ways for people to interact with technology, creativity and real-world challenges.
This includes immersive concepts, Scenario Worlds, future environments, competitions and collaborative innovation projects.
As Drift Escapes develops, it will increasingly create opportunities for people to participate, compete, experiment and experience ideas rather than simply read about them.
๐ Drift Academy & Media CIC โ Skills, Pathways & Participation
Drift Academy is the learning and participation side of the ecosystem.
Through workshops, Future Skills Labs and career-discovery experiences, people can explore emerging industries, build confidence and discover pathways into areas such as AI, creative technology, sustainability, marine innovation, digital media and future work.
