	Headliners Heads Up - November 2007	736 días hace
	Not expecting this email? We’ve sent it to people we think will be genuinely interested in what Headliners is currently up to. However, if it’s not for you, then please let us know by following details at the end of this email. What we’ve been up to recently Peace on the Streets Young people being involved in gun-crime in London is hardly out of the news. So a group of Headliners reporters are currently investigating the issue for a forthcoming article. As part of the report, they interviewed Choice FM’s Phoebe One, and we liked the conversation so much we’ve made it a podcast: http://www.headliners.org/storylibra... Shoot the reality Eight young people from Belfast got the opportunity to make short films about issues that concern them and their friends as young people growing up in the 21st century. http://www.headliners.org/storylibra... (if you haven’t seen the features from BBC Newsline you can still watch them here: http://www.headliners.org/aboutus/pr... Halloween with less spirits Halloween has increasingly become a major event in Northern Ireland; but it’s been plagued by an increase in drinking among younger people. So Headliners reporters decided to see if they could get their spooks from a different form of spirits: http://www.headliners.org/storylibra... What it’s like to be a young person today A team of Headliners reporters spent the summer working on a story for sector magazine Children and Young People Now. They asked us to find out what it was really like to be a child in 21st century Britain; so our reporters visited young people in Birmingham and Liverpool as well as those in London. Don’t forget you can see our latest work, subscribe to our RSS Feeds, download our podcasts and watch videos all at http://www.headliners.org Headliners news The annual Headliners conference took place on November 10th in London. We spent most of the conference looking at factors external to the organisation that influence what we do. The conference was opened by Matt Deegan, an industry expert on using new media. We then broke into small groups and planned some targets we hope to achieve by next year. At the conference we showed a short video of some of the things we’d been up to over the last twelve months, you can watch it here http://www.headliners.org/storylibra... Three Headliners members picked up two prestigious awards at a ceremony in Northern Ireland recently. Lyra McKee and Emmet Barr were honoured for their reporting from an international AIDS conference in Canada in 2006; whilst John Monaghan got his gong for his Global Eye documentary called From Dreams to Reality. The awards, presented at the Millennium Forum in Derry, were organised by the Impetus Awards Scheme which promotes human rights and shared values. http://www.impetusawards.org.uk/ Ciaran McKerr has settled in his post as Belfast Project Coordinator, which he took over from Tricia Valladares who left us after four years in September. Tricia has been in Northern Spain for a six-week trek for charity – you can read more about it on her blog http://triciaandgabyontour.blogspot.com/ We’ve been measuring up the new premises for our London and UK teams, based in RichMix. Subject to all the final negotiations, we are planning to move into in the first half of 2008. http://www.richmix.org.uk Coming up… Watch out for 11 Million’s Takeover Day on Friday 23 November. Two members of Headliners in London will be taking over at 11 Million, one as the Children’s Commissioner and one as the press officer to deal with the enquiries. As part of the day they are planning to be on GMTV first thing before getting a train to Manchester to see Takeover Day in action at Old Trafford. http://www.11million.org.uk/takeover... Some of our material we produced last year is being used on this year’s World AIDS Day website. The site features work that we did as part of the Global Eye programme in Northern Ireland, and an outreach group of young people with HIV. http://www.worldaidsday.org/ Other stuff that excites us… Television hasn’t exactly got the best of press this year, but the Royal Television Society is keen to ensure that the next generation of TV makers get the best possible start. So they’ve launched the rather fabulous RTS Futures website http://www.rtsfutures.org.uk/
