Media 19

Two of the projects that Media 19 have run are DiGi50+ and also Self Portrait Young Parents.

DiGi50+ is a program that was run to encourage people who live in rural communities to get more out of using the Internet and online services that are provided. It consisted of some drop-in training workshops and events in Northumberland, North Yorkshire and Cumbria, in which people could be shown how to use computers.

Self Portrait Young Parents gave a chance for young parents in urban and coastal districts to express what it is like to be a teenage parent. Using video and photography to show the world about the realities of been a young parent and the responsibilities which go with it.

Both of these projects had positive outcomes that helped communities all over the north.
