LONDON YOUNG VOICES films at NFT2 this week, as part of the Flipside Film Festival ... featuring Bede Youth Adventure Project of Bermondsey, Goose Green Primary School of East Dulwich and St MIchael and All Angels Academy of Camberwell. Community TV Trust's 3-year project of facilitating positive media from, by and about young people has so far created eighteen films in total.

Do you think Peckham should have its own inspirational arts space, instead of having the building replaced with high rise flats or another supermarket? If so, please sign our Call for Support at http://www.savearea10.org and add your comments � whether you have enjoyed events at Area10, participated in workshops, or just want to see Peckham retain this exciting and vibrant arts space, It would also help us if you have time to write to your local Councillors and MPs giving your support for saving Area10, and asking the Council to work with the organisation to develop it into a long term arts and performance space that Peckham can be proud of: Peter.John@Southwark.gov.uk harmanh@parliament.uk Veronica.Ward@Southwark.gov.uk Fiona.Colley@Southwark.gov.uk Althea.Smith@Southwark.gov.uk Sunil.Chopra@Southwark.gov.uk Barrie.Hargrove@Southwark.gov.uk To see the kind of activities Area 10 hosts and supports, click the gallery at the bottom of the website - http://www.savearea10.org

London Young Voices Community TV Trust showed a wide range of films from local schools and Bermondsey's Bede Youth Adventure Project, at the PECKHAM SPACE screening on 16 June. The Space was packed with participants from Goose Green Primary School and St Michael & All Angels; with key staff from Southwark Council, two people from Crimestoppers, Decima Francis (founder of From Boyhood To Manhood), Evolution Quarter TRA, friends trustees and associates of Community TV Trust. The event served to track the journey of young minds across the years from primary school into turbulent mid-teenage youth. Two films stood out: DECISIONS by Millie Cook and Bede Youth Adventure Project, and CHOICES from St Michael & All Angles Academy.

	Under the London Young Voices banner we ran a project with BEDE YOUTH ADVENTURE, making three films which were exhibited at the Coleman Project Space in Bermondsey. The show opened in April and closed on 9th May. The main film, a drama called "DECISIONS" about teenage pregnancy and peer pressure was shown at Peckham Space on 16th June, in a special screening acknowledging LONDON YOUNG VOICES. It was really well received. LYV is a 3-year venture managed by Community TV Trust who run Southwark.TV and is designed to celebrate positive media made by and about young people and their issues, loves, fears, challenges and hopes.

LONDON YOUNG VOICES With schools St Michael and All Angels, Peckham Academy, Goose Green Primary School and SILS 4, and with Bede Youth Adventure Project, Southwark.TV determined to find a way of celebrating the positive qualities of young people faced with the wave of knife and gun crime we are all experiencing. This does not mean 'fluffy' either. We started a partnership with Peckham Space, a new gallery in front of the Peckham Library, where we showed the films on 16th June 2010. On the U Speak page, you will find a link to a YouTube video which will make you think ...


	Southwark.TV Archive We are planning an archive of local media, short films and documentaries, both from Southwark.TV's partner groups and schools but also from local people generally, of all ages and abilities. Local history, local representation ... you name it. If you have a film to offer for people to access in this central repository, send it to Community TV Trust, 10 Denman Road SE15 5NP.

WEB-EVENT-TV ... is the mix that we believe makes robust local media. That's our Southwark Template ... but now "TV" includes IPTV !

There are 3 ways off this page - via Sitemap, Select A Partner and the navigation buttons - to over 50 groups and schools from the Southwark area. Each runs their own space, making up Southwark.TV. This public space for community voices has no political or religious views of its own, but with our broadcast TV experience and training expertise we encourage all to find their voice and have their say. This venture in open-access community media is run by Community TV Trust who have space on this website as well as their own.
