OKRE is a charity that harnesses the power of entertainment for positive societal impact. By bringing together researchers, people with lived experience, and creative talent, we help ensure that stories are informed by expertise and grounded in real-world understanding.

2025

At the 2025 OKRE Summit, we focused on how to create more authentic, impactful worlds on screen, with a particular spotlight on stories developed in collaboration with lived experience or academic research.

Highlights included our keynote, author and screen writer Paris Lees, delivering an honest account of the process of turning her life story into the BBC drama ‘What it Feels Like For a Girl’, and a deep dive into hit ITV show The Assembly, to also showcase how inclusive practices off-screen are fuelling creativity on-screen.
