The Learning Revolution goes North

Coming soon, thanks to generous support from The Transformation Fund, Northwest Vision and Media, Screen Yorkshire and Northern Film and Media are delighted to be joining forces with Media 19 to bring you the Learning Revolution: a celebration of learning for pleasure bringing benefits to people’s lives and opportunities to our rural communities.

Media 19 is an award-winning media production company who specialise in engaging the public in learning, participating and producing content for large scale cross-platform media projects.

From December to March 2010 we are running DiGi 50+, our programme of Learning Revolution workshops and drop-in sessions, devised to combat issues of social exclusion and rural isolation for older people. The project will develop participants’ knowledge, skills and confidence around using online, digital and social media tools under different themes such as ‘managing and sharing digital photos’, ‘keeping in touch with family and friends’, ‘researching family history’ and ‘community journalism’ in three rural areas of the North of England.
