Mediabox Photography Workshop

Mediabox is offering young people aged between 13 - 19 from London, Bristol, Leeds or Birmingham the chance to work with professional photographers to create powerful photographs depicting their personal experiences of unemployment.

Just so it's clear participants need to be unemployed to take part, they will work with professional photography mentors to create images that reflect their personal experiences of unemployment. Young people will be asked to attend a photography workshop where they will come up with creative ideas and learn basic photography skills. This will take place on Tuesday 16th March at The Guardian HQ in London. They will then go back to their local area and with the support of their mentor they will take images and then come back to London on Friday 19th March for a final post production workshop where they will format and edit their images.

All travel and expenses along with youth worker expenses for all three days will be covered.

Those interested will need to email Jessica Odubayo jessicao@mediatrust.org with their age, which organisation they are from and details of thier current unemployment situation/the story behind being unemployed.

Closing date for all applications is Friday 5th March 2010.
