I'm now tracking, recording and documenting the project not only for my professional development, but also with teh aim of achieveing a Silver (or possibly a Gold) level on the Young Person's Arts Award: a recognised qualification to GCSE and A-Level for Silver and Gold respectively.
BRILLIANT!
It's ace because it actually has examples of how to complete the criteria in a handbook, you get a mentour, and it can be put in perspective.
It's given me so much clarification already. Since, let it be known, I am a little bit scatty (in the memory department - I will stand up for my organisational skills).
I'd also like to be a Youth Arts Award moderator in the future.
So, full steam ahead.
Now I just need to find the time to put into all that I'm doing. And to get the internet at home....I t make such a big difference to things
ALSO
I had an excellent meeting at York CVS last week with The Khaoz Radio project and a representative from BBC Radio York. The possibility of developing future Youth4Media Media Teams in collaboration with other local institutions such as York CVS, BBC Radio York, Khaos Radio, York TV, York St John, York Uni seems very real: and there's a GREAT DEAL of interest.
I also had a chat with someone form York St John who is a councellor for Young people who showed interest....Networking, networking (all for the greater good)

Some Formal Information
Here's some formal information on the partners of Intercult, as part of Youth4Media:
A Little about Youth4Media...
"European Youth4Media Network"
was founded in April 2005 as a non-governmental, non-profit association.
Members are more than 20 NGO´s worldwide (A none-profit, none Governmental Organisation voluntary citizens' group which is organized on a local, Grassroots level especially in the EU-countries.)
The network continues enlarging. European Youth4Media Network offers a possibility for youngsters to participate actively in their political environment by encouraging their communication and medias kills. The etwork operates both on a local and on an European level. This is a very important step in the direction of an active and European citizenship in the united Europe.
A Little about Arts Action York...
Everyone is creative...
Arts Action York runs projects that develop this creativity to help make positive changes in communities.
We work with groups of all ages, using a range of different art forms, which enable people to express their ideas and concerns in a creative way.
Our aim is to make arts available to everyone regardless of skill or ability. Our priority is to provide opportunities for people who have limited access to participating in the arts.
We work with partners to develop an arts based community programme and we support artists to deliver high quality projects.
Services we offer include:
- project planning and management
- creative consultation
- resources
We provide grants for community arts projects. The next round will be in April and September 2008.
A newsletter is produced by Arts Action giving details of our current and planned projects and activities. You can download a PDF of the latest edition from the right of the linked page above.
Arts Action York is jointly funded by the Arts Council and the City of York Council
Where Youth4Media Fits In...
We intend to develop Youth4Media to be at the forefront of Film, TV, Web Tv, Mobile Content, Web Design and all positive, creative expression through New Media in the City of York. Almost like a baby sister to Arts Action and working with young people specifically to give a voice to us. (Speaking as a Young Person myself).
We aim to provide opportunities locally and in Europe on an international scale working hand in hand with our European partners, the European Voluntary Servie (EVS) and more. Examples of opportunities available can be seen in current and previous projects on Youth4Media.com
A Little about The European Voluntary Service (EVS)...
EVS offers young people the opportunity to volunteer in another country, normally for a period of six to twelve months. A wide variety of placements can be found in the social, cultural, environmental and sports sector. Shorter placements of three weeks to six months are available to young people with fewer opportunities or special needs.
Volunteering trough EVS provides young people with a real-life international learning experience, encouraging social integration, increasing employability and offering opportunities to show solidarity with other people.
Organisations and local communities are strengthened by the experience of European partnerships - exchanging cultural knowledge and good practice, increasing awareness and understanding of international youth work.
