[cma-l] Young people involved in community media

[Shawn Sobers]

Hello Ben,

I'm just coming to the end of my PhD looking at quite similar territory, though I've been concentrating more on the learning of young people participating in community video projects rather than community radio.

I'm happy to chat anytime off list, and meet when possible.

All the best,

Shawn Sobers

Hi Shane
I'm planning a PhD on 'under the radar' community organisations and am looking to build a small stat profile to explain how young people learn at community media organisations, outside of their usual learning channels of school etc, and what they think of the kind of learning they're experiencing.

The aim is to investigate the learning cultures within the small community media organisations that retain an independence from government by not providing formalised training but instead value concepts such as peer learning, mentoring and lifelong learning. This would perhaps be a community radio station with a few programmes made by groups of young people who are supported by staff and other volunteers, but generally are given independence and freedom to be creative. In this situation individuals perhaps develop their own learning strategies and conentrate skills on what they're interested in, or perhaps strengths and weaknesses.

Any stats, or a further chat off list, is always welcome. I'm a year off beginning, so these are preliminary enquiries.
Ben
