Learn how to make TV with something to say Free summer film training for 16–25 year olds August 30, 2010

WORLDbytes is an online citizen TV channel which tackles social issues; its ethos is “don’t shout at the telly, change the message on it”. With programmes made by young volunteers learning to film, we privilege content over style and feature debates, policy makers & experts, showcase new ideas for social change & light hearted items.
WORLDbytes provides free on-the-job film training courses to new volunteers interested in creating alternative news programmes and reports. The training is free for young people aged 16 – 25 who would like to get involved in the charity’s work. No previous skills are required but a keen interest in social issues, politics and challenging ideas are a must as our ‘citizen TV’ programmes prioritise content over style. The next training opportunity with places available takes place on Tuesday 31st August, Wednesday 1st & Thursday 2nd September 2010. The days will be long, roughly 9am to 9pm. To get involved and be part of the crew you must be available for all three days of the course, and attend a group interview on Wednesday 25th August at 7.30pm at the Kingshold Community Centre in Hackney. You can apply online at http://www.worldbytes.org/training-booking.html Please note the deadline for applications is Monday 23rd August. It is always best to start volunteering straight away so that you can help plan and prepare for the shoots taking place on the course. Active volunteers are always given priority places on these courses; you can apply to come to our next open evening for volunteers at http://www.worldwrite.org.uk/becomeavolunteer.html
