My life in Wokingham media!
Wokingham Borough Council’s villages youth project will be starting this term’s course of the ‘My Life’ project at the beginning of April. This is a fantastic opportunity for young people living in the Wokingham borough, aged 13 to 19 years to explore their lives, surroundings and future, through the use of media. During the six-month project, participants will have the opportunity to meet and be coached by professionals in photography, video and television and will plan, film and produce a video project, as well as develop new artistic skills in collage and art work.
Amongst many other activities, last term’s Wokingham group learned how to take photographs and were photographed themselves by a professional photographer. The young people planned and produced a video project and enjoyed a residential trip to the National Museum of Film, Photography and Television in Bradford, where they spent a day recording a television news programme.
Stacey Tagg, aged 18, from Finchampstead, participated in the project and said: “It was a great opportunity and a great project. We developed new skills and I have been able to apply to lots of different situations in life. I would definitely recommend it to other young people.”
The Wokingham project also involves a public presentation evening which will take place at the end of the four six-month projects that the villages youth project is running. The young people that have taken part can receive a youth achievement award, a sectional Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze (skills) certificate and a ‘My Life’ certificate of completion.
The project runs out of Wokingham Teeners Youth Club, which is located on the Pinewood Leisure Complex and there is a £20 booking fee to participate in the project. Places are limited and the next project begins in April, so, if you are aged 13 to 19 years and are interested in taking part, contact Louise Morris, neighbourhood youth worker at the villages youth project office on (0118) 979 7915.
