Changing Places was launched in September 1995.

"Changing Places is an innovative career development scheme for women working as freelancers in the Scottish Broadcast Film and Video industries. The scheme is designed to provide training and support for women who wish to move into directing or perhaps wish to gain further experience and skills as a director or in other grades where women are under-represented. The scheme will support 12 - 16 women for varying durations of time until September 1996, all of which will benefit from short courses, placements, workshops and master classes. By taking a flexible approach to each particular specific training need and circumstances, SB&FT will work in partnership with the women on the scheme to maximise their potential. All participants will receive a weekly training allowance, travel and subsistence costs and a contribution to child-care. The scheme is funded by the Skillset Freelance Training Fund and the European Social Fund co-ordinated through Skillset." [from press release in paper archives]
