	First ever Pacific Youth Voices youth media workshop	485 giorni fa
	We ran our first ever youth media workshop this week in Honiara, Solomon Islands – it was awesome! We had about 50 young people and about 16 youth workers and media volunteers to deliver the activities. On the first day we spent time working through community/youth issues that the group was concerned about – unemployment, access to education, HIV and AIDS, drugs and alcohol, children’s rights, child abuse, logging and corruption in government were the big ones. On day two we had four groups of volunteers from different media – radio, TV/film, writing and drama – who worked with smaller groups to teach them some basic media skills in the area and then help them produce a piece based on an issue they picked. We had great feedback from the participants, who reckoned it should have been at least two days longer; and the volunteers have definitely helped us work out different and better ways of delivering this kind of workshop. The work that the young people produced will be showcased on International Youth Day in Honiara. Now that we’ve had the first one, we’re going to write up all our learning and experience and hand it over to other youth workers/super-fantastic coordinators in the Pacific to run themselves – the idea is you shouldn’t have to know anything about media to coordinate it, just be able to inspire media volunteers to work with you!
