Young People's Minister Beverley Hughes today presented disadvantaged young
people with an extra special Christmas present as she announced £9 million
for creative youth-led projects including film making, designing computer
games, and online and print news.
The money will be available over the next three years and will help young
people get hands-on experience in one of the country's growing industries. The
Department for Children, Schools and Families are already discussing with
Mediabox how the first £2 million of this funding can build on the innovative
work they do in inspiring young people to take part in creative youth-led
projects.
Beverley Hughes said:
"Often when I meet young people they tell me about a lack of things to do
and places to go. That is why our Youth Strategy is all about creating
opportunities that empower young people to make decisions and engage in
their communities.
"We have committed £679million for positive activities for young people
and projects like Mediabox offer a fantastic opportunity for young people
to get some hands-on experience in one of our growing industries, to talk
about their lives and hopes and to showcase what they are capable of."
