Animation Bootcamp for Belizean Women and Girls Launched

The Ministry of Investment, through its Investment Policy and Compliance Unit (IPCU), has partnered with the Taiwan Technical Mission and the National Women’s Commission to launch an Animation Bootcamp for women and girls at the Belize City ITVET.

This bootcamp will take place in Corozal Town, Orange Walk Town, and Belize City, featuring six training sessions in Belize City: three in-person and three online. The programme aims to equip Belizean women and girls with fundamental skills in graphic art and animation, enabling them to create short animated films. These skills are increasingly sought after in industries such as film, television, gaming, advertising, and marketing.

After completing the training, participants will be encouraged to develop an original story and script to animate and share online, with the goal of creating original content that can eventually be copyrighted.
