sounddelivery has been commissioned to produce an audio CD and short film to document an intergenerational project with London Youth.  Young people are being invited to give their views on how they perceive themselves in relation to their age and how they perceive age in relation to people around them.  The project is funded by the Beth Johnson Foundation – one of the leading organisations in Europe working to develop a systematic understanding of intergenerational practice. The project participants will take part in a one-day session with London Youth to explore the issues of age in relation to specific areas of their lives such as the Workplace, Education/school, The Media, Sex and Relationships, and The Community.  They will then have the opportunity to record their thoughts and interview other people about how they feel.

sounddelivery has been working with London Youth, a member organisation with more than 400 youth clubs serving 75,000 young people across the capital. We were brought in to create a short film about London Youth’s work. The aim was to raise the organisation’s profile, highlight the role of youth worker training and the impact London Youth has had on young people’s lives.

We interviewed 8 young people who were taking part in the Youth Works programme – a project funded by the new youth volunteering charity V. It’s aim is to train a new generation of youth workers with a specialism in community activism. Young people who access the programme volunteer full time for 6 months in one of London Youth’s Quality Marked clubs. During this time they take their Level 1 Foundation in Youth Work, organise a community project and take part in a full programme of personal development.

This film uses content from the Youth Works interviews plus contributions from Youth Club leaders and London Youth project workers.
