A project exploring how young people engage with education.
Engaging with young people who are on the edge of school, and those who have left school and are not in full-time education or employment.
How can these young people be supported to thrive in education? How have their struggles been impacted since COVID-19?
Launch Event
To launch the Renew project, we set up a streaming event.
Here, you can watch again, the Action Media crew introduce the project.
We set up two cameras, the big screen tv, and a mixer.
Interviews
Tony tells us his life story – getting into trouble, but then falling in love with learning while in prison.
Meet Phillippa, who works in a local museum. Hear how COVID affected their education delivery and how the museum adapted.
Local youth worker James tells us about his Low Rider bike project, and how he’s giving young people different opportunities to learn something new.
We meet Jess, at local education project New Meaning. Hear about the different projects they run and how they help young people who aren’t typically ‘school shaped’, to grow and learn new practical skills.
