Amplified
Amplified is a FREE training programme for 12 young people from across the Leeds City Regions from diverse underrepresented backgrounds aged between 13 – 19 years old. The programme is funded by The Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s ideas and pioneers fund. The intention is to run Saturday clubs three times a year for a period of between 4 – 6 weeks, giving young people the skills required to apply for and see themselves in roles within the TV industry.
Workshops will include:
- Introduction to TV
- Research Skills
- How to shoot and edit using a smartphone
- Young Writers Workshop
- Confidence building workshops
- CV workshops
- Social media workshops
The programme launched on the 29th May via Zoom. Contact Sam@boujiemedia.co.uk for more information.
“It was a pleasure to be part of Boujie Media’s Amplify Saturday School. Sam produced a fantastic programme of opportunities for young people.
I ran the Smartphone Videography/Mobile Storytelling workshop. I loved how engaged and creative the young people were.
I’m a broadcast journalist turned social entrepreneur and, like Sam, my focus is empowering under-represented groups.
I founded Our Version Media to equip marginalised communities, particularly black and those demonised by the press, with media skills to tell their own authentic stories.
I look forward to Our Version Media and Boujie Media teaming up again in the future."
