Quiet Blog, Busy SENSE.

We’ve been busy. Making media work.

More to the point, we’ve been making Media Works.

The Foyer Federation asked us, along with Community Builders and the award-winning TomTom Nation to help them design a pilot youth media project for 10 of the foyers within their network.

So… what have we been up to?

Well, consulting with and training young people and staff, installing lots of shiny new media equipment and developing a project brand and web platform! It’s a great chance for us – the legacy we leave behind will offer over 500 young people who are living in foyers a real chance to express themselves creatively, get skilled up and get employed in the creative industries.

So whether we’ve officially saved the world yet or not is still unconfirmed but we’ll let you know the details as soon as they emerge.

You’re Already Involved…

Went to the AMAZING Battlefront event tonight…

Where 20 young people are campaigning on various issues from gang culture to proper recycling of the millions of free newspapers that are given out left right and centre in London everyday.

WOW what can I say the whole setup was amazing. The young people left me feeling inspired and taught me a thing or two.

Most important I think reminded me to listen and ask more questions (Thanks Alex!) reminded me how great it is to see young people fired up about changing the world (Zander!) and made me laugh out loud with renditions of the editing process (Zainab!)

Thanks guys I had a ball and bumped into people I really needed to see. Double bonus!

Goodnight and Sleep Tight. Tomorrow it all begins again…
