🏆 Video Arts is already a winner… we just don’t know which shiny LearnX medal we’ll get yet!

Yes, that’s right, we’ve won a LearnX Award 2025 for our Cyber Security Awareness Course, filmed earlier this year.

Our latest course helps organisations tackle one of today’s trickiest challenges — building awareness and accountability around online safety without teams falling asleep in the process.💤

A huge thank you to everyone who made this project happen and to our clients and learners who keep inspiring us to make workplace learning smarter, safer, and a little more fun.

Stay tuned… silver, gold, platinum, or diamond? Either way, we’re feeling pretty sparkly.

🌍 This Black History Month: Find Out Why Understanding Our Biases Matters

Black History Month invites us to reflect on inclusion, representation and fairness: not just in words but in action.

Unconscious bias can show up in subtle ways: who we listen to, who we promote or whose ideas we value most. Recognising these biases is the first step to building a culture where everyone feels heard, respected and able to thrive.

Creating real inclusion isn’t just about celebrating diversity. It’s about checking our assumptions, questioning habits and making fairness part of everyday decisions.

This Black History Month, take a moment to reflect, learn and act. Small shifts in awareness can lead to big changes in culture.

☕ It’s International Coffee Day☕

Coffee might not solve every workplace problem but it does get people talking.

And that’s where coaching begins.

A quick chat over a cappuccino can do more for understanding and trust than an hour-long “development session” with slides and buzzwords. Because when people feel comfortable, they open up. They reflect. They think differently.

For L&D pros, those informal moments are gold dust, it's a chance to listen, ask better questions and spot the real coaching opportunities hiding in plain sight.

So yes, celebrate coffee. But maybe also celebrate what happens around it.

🌍 Zero Waste Week: What Should My Organisation Do To Be More Sustainable?

Sustainability isn’t about doing the bare minimum and hoping no one notices. It’s about weaving greener thinking into how your business runs – because the planet, your people, and even your profit margins all benefit.

💡 A few truths worth knowing:
• 27 countries already have laws locking in net zero targets.
• 78% of employees would pick the eco-committed company if job offers were equal.
• Cutting waste often means cutting costs too (yes, “going green” can actually make your accounts lean).

In our Video Arts course – What Should My Organisation Do To Be More Sustainable?, we explore:
How to avoid greenwashing (spoiler: honesty really is the best policy)
Why sustainability isn’t just for the “eco team”
Small steps that make a big difference to culture and the bottom line

This , let’s move past the minimum and do something that actually sticks. 🌱
