Britain’s youth is often dismissed as delinquent, riding roughshod over local communities, vandalising and victimising to its heart’s content. But by providing the opportunity to make their voices heard in the local community, Halton Access to Media (HAM) and its reACT media course is empowering them to become confident, articulate and productive individuals.
Aimed at 12-18 year olds (up to 25 if the young person is homeless), the course provides hands-on experience of the technologies involved in, as well as discussion of the issues surrounding, radio broadcasting.
Funded by Comic Relief and Children in Need, students have the opportunity to create programmes in professional Studios, using the latest audio editing equipment. It has been HAM’s great pleasure to have helped many young people grow in confidence and employability as they learn more about this exciting area.
Indeed, for those interested in British society and politics, the media plays a crucial role in the democratic process. This is a perfect opportunity for young people to learn more about this aspect of life in Britain today.
We are having a reACT Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, 19th December 2007. The Awards are a reflection of the Students’ hard work and enthusiasm and the Presentation, which will take place between 5:30pm and 7:30pm, will also provide a showcase for their talent. Our other invited guests - our local MP, Mayor and other dignitaries - look set to make this a truly amazing evening.
HAM is a not-for-profit, community broadcaster based in Runcorn. After our successful Ofcom application for a full-time licence, Halton Community Radio is now looking forward to being on air permanently, bringing the very best music, chat and information to local people.
