Collaboration with Community Media Volunteers (Lectern Project)

The collaboration between Brighton Community Organisers and the Community Media module at the university was set up with the aim of engaging students in a community project, where they would assist the group through various media forms over a period of 6 weeks.

Another benefit to this partnership was that students could use the content/engagement as part of their studies and receive credits for it, whilst learning valuable skills in a real-life environment.

The students were involved in a brain-storming meeting with local residents, an interview with a local community cafe, photographing the local area, handing out flyers and creating a short video of the potential of the area for having a community space.

We'd like to thank the students for their hard work and enthusiasm and look forward to future years in collaboration with the project :)
