MANCHESTER > GREATER FOR CREATIVE, DIGITAL AND TECH LEARNING
#MCRGreater is a free, collaborative listings website for Creative, Digital & Tech learning across Greater Manchester.
Whether it’s a free coding activity in Ashton, a graphic design boot camp in the Northern Quarter, or a ‘build your own app competition in Stockport’ you’ll find out about it all through #MCRGreater / www.mcrgreater.co.uk.
Created and managed by apprentices and graduates, the campaign is promoted to schools, colleges, universities, students, apprentices and new entrants into the sector on an ongoing basis.
#MCRGreater aims to provide an easily searchable resource to assist the promotion of events, supported by organisations includingBBC, ITV ,Manchester City Council and Manchester Metropolitan University.
The design is made up of the skylines of Greater Manchester and the branding is not led by any one organisation or employer.
The ambition is to support making Manchester Greater for Creative, Digital and Tech Learning.
