On 27th August, some young people from Manchester and Salford descended upon the Cumbrian town of Ulverston as part of the ‘Switched’ media project.
Stuart Blair from Lower Kersal attended the event, with support from the Social Media Centre and funding from the NDC.
He said, ” The Switched! Project was a chance for a group of young people from Manchester to visit with young people of Cumbria and learn new skills in media and music production, as well as team building skills and ultimately, learn about themselves in the process. Myself and Teresa were lucky enough to have been able to attend the 4 day get-together, which I have to say was brilliant. The Young People were all very enthusiastic, and all of the staff were brilliant, even though we were camping! Here’s to the next phase when the Cumbrians come to stay down here!”
Stuart is currently editing a documentary of his time on the residential. Check out this site for clips soon.
