Person in charge: Malte Koppe (Youth4Media)

Highlights of the discussion:

After a short introduction to the best practices of Youth 4 Media we discussed once again some important aspects to be balanced while planning:

• quality of the media outcome and maximum participation of the youngsters
• balance of non-experienced (non-English speakers) and skilled (English speaking) participants
• balance of “first time participants” and “project hoppers”

We couldn’t agree on a common topic yet. It is up to be discussed if we can focus on a more political (EU, education …) or social (drug prevention, youth subcultures e.g.) issue.

Finally, we agreed that our common project draft should include the profiles of all our participating organizations (present here in Milano).

This means: * video production

* radio production

* designing of a web page / journalism

* photo (documentation)

* (creating an online newspaper)

Those could be the topics of the workshops during the Camp, anyway, it has to be guaranteed, that workshop leaders have the chance to learn in / from the other groups.
Outcome:

The project could be realized next summer. Just before finishing, we thought of the production school in Denmark to be the ideal place to host the camp.

Conclusions:

Including all types of media AND youth with less opportunities as well as educated youngsters will be a hard task. All details have to be set up yet.
