Programmes for talent

Media Trust has supported over 20,000 young people to date, training them in multimedia journalism so they can tell their own stories and those of their communities. As well as giving young people practical tools, our programmes convert their talents and passions into confidence and skills to progress in further education, employment and give a voice to the communities they live in. Below are our current youth media programmes.
