The Photojournalism Hub has been awarded funding from W12Together to run a project for youths (16+) in White City and Wormholt starting from the 7th November.
Following on the success of the JustZine magazine (see all the issues on the site) produced with youths in White City, I am very pleased to continue to offer this incredible opportunity where participants will, under the guidance of a professional media facilitator, produce and publish their work in an online news zine covering local stories in the community of White City and Wormholt. The project will equip participants with a working portfolio, mentorship and working experience in the publishing and creative industry that can assist them in gaining access to further education and/or work placements. I would love to reach out to as many youths as possible in the local area.
