THE PROJECT

The project, based in Merthyr Tydfil, will provide media training for young people to
increase their skills and raise self-confidence. The portable media centre will enable
us to hold and deliver classes to the community, schools, adult centres, etc.
This equipment will enable us to deliver structured learning which will involve
community members making their own works such as films, music, graphic design and
animation.

The media facility will provide an opportunity to support new initiatives that will have a
substantial impact on the lives of community members in our area. Access to the arts,
media, music and digital industries for our members through our activities will be created
with the aim to provide a voice for local people, promoting learning and raising achievement
in arts & media making for our members.

This project will have a massive impact on the local communities throughout South Wales,
not only will it give local residents training opportunities, we will be able to gain access and
engage with those who have so far been hard to reach. Many of these areas are high on the
deprivation list and this project will give them the chance to access facilities that otherwise
would not have been open to them, which could result in future job opportunities. Through
other projects we have been involved in we know that projects such as these raise
confidence & self esteem in the young people that are involved. It also gives withdrawn
young people the chance to make new friends and gets them involved in team activities;
it also gives them goals – something to look forward to.
