2004 and before
Camden Canal
Commissioned by Camden Council to work with young people to identify community safety issues on the canal and surrounding areas. This series of films highlight the process of consultation undertaken by young people. Local adults and young people's concerns and their views on what improvements should be made are depicted. The films also show physical improvements undertaken from the consultation.
Focus News!
Commissioned by St. Ethelburga's Centre for Peace and Reconciliation this news programme was put together by young people concerned that TV news didn't represent their views. They chose conflict and the Iraq war as their theme.
They felt there was too much editorialising in the way choices were made of what TV news programmes show us. They used existing TV news bulletins and interviews they conducted in the streets of London to highlight what they felt was a major difference between what the public felt and what TV news channels broadcast.
Brighter Futures
Commissioned by Save the
Children to work with three groups of young
refugees and asylum seekers throughout the UK to develop their website.
Following a consultation process with the young people it was decided
to keep the site predominantly visual. A photography/postcard project
was developed to run alongside the production of the site to create
specific and original content. Other content has been repurposed from
work they have carried out in the past. An interactive element is also
being developed to allow young refugees and asylum seekers the opportunity
to communicate with each other.

Bubblycrew
Winner of the Cable & Wireless/Childnet International Award 2002.
Bubblycrew is a group of young carers in Hammersmith & Fulham who
felt there was nothing on the web by or for young carers. They wrote
their profiles, recounted their experiences, conducted
interviews and created a place for other young carers to have their
say. They also created flash animations based around their lives as
young carers.
Since they won their award they have undertaken many other media projects creating two films, a music CD and video and several magazines which are all now highlighted on the website.
