A programme aimed at upskilling aspiring content creators - some musicians, some music lovers - to produce social media content inspired by our projects and values.
First we recruited a team of passionate young people to learn the ins and outs of digital content creation, and test their new-found skills on some of our projects.
Facilitated by Reform Radio, the course covered all grounds including social media, videography, and interview techniques.
digital native
noun
A person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and so familiar with computers and the internet from an early age.

Digital Natives at Reform Radio
After a short break, the group came back together to plan and capture content that featured tips and insights from speakers attending our Future Forming Symposium at WOMEX 24.
Then it was time to hit the studio! For many of the participants this was their first time using professional editing software.
Guided by freelance filmmaker Izzy Pye (TripleDotMakers), check out what they created in just 2 days...
Big congratulations to all of the Digital Natives participants - Adrian, Alfie, Anita, Beth, Byron, Chay, Essence, Jayden, Max, Niamh and Rinesa. We loved working with you and can't wait to see where your new-found skills take you next...
