Thai YouTube Creators get mentored by YouTube

YouTube has selected 15 Thai YouTube creators to participate in a weeklong mentorship program where they will learn the ins and outs of content production for YouTube.

The event is being held at Bangkok University's Rangsit campus.

These events take place regularly at different places around Bangkok.

There are also permanent YouTube Spaces in Paris, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Mumbai, London, New York, Sao Paulo, Berlin and Toronto.

This program is part of YouTube's global NextUp development program.

The program has mentored over 300 YouTube creators in 15 countries around the world since its creation in 2011.

WHAT THEY WILL LEARN?

At the event Thai YouTube creators will learn film-making techniques and get advice from top YouTube creators Evelina and Nitrorcx.

The participants will learn how to use studios, audio and editing equipment.

A sum of 86,300 baht will be given to each participant to buy cameras, lights and microphones for video production.

YOUTUBE SPACE BANGKOK

YouTube Pop-up Spaces are weeklong events held by YouTube to teach promising YouTubers how to produce leading edge YouTube content.

The first pop-up space in Asia was held in Bangkok in May of this year.

The idea behind YouTube Spaces, set up in different cities around the world, is to mentor YouTube creators so they can excel at creating content for YouTube.

The "YouTube creator community" consists of all the people, companies and organizations creating content for YouTube.

Over the last two years the Thai YouTube creator community has been growing by leaps and bounds.
