Hi,
I just came across this on the Ministry of Justice's website
http://www.justice.gov.uk/whatwedo/newsrelease070607b.htm
Radiowaves, the schools podcasting network, and the Ministry of Justice
are giving young people the chance to have their say on a national stage
as part of an innovative new project called 'Voice It'.
Radiowaves Voice It! challenges young people to create websites, blogs
and podcasts to investigate, report or campaign on issues that matter to
them. It is an opportunity for students and young people to get their
voices heard by the people who can really make a difference including
local councillors, MPs and ministers.
Radiowaves: http://www.radiowaves.co.uk/
Voice IT http://www.radiowaves.co.uk/n/VoiceIT
Does anyone on the list know any more about these projects?
I'm particularly interested in hearing about decision-maker involvement
(as implied by the MoJ press release)
