GSF MEDIA CHALLANGE AWARD WINNER USES LISBEE'S TRACK 'WISH UPON A STAR'
At GSF2008 (Global Student Forum) Jon Snow (Channel 4 News) launched The Media Partnership Challenge, encouraging students to add a significant media element to their peer education.
The prize for this was won by the students from Stratton Upper School and Community College. As well as carrying out an impressive programme of peer education in their own school and in local primary schools, these students used the resources on the peer educator pack to create an inspirational video which they showed as widely as possible to great effect. You can view and download their video below; we hope that it will encourage and inspire many others to use media in similar positive and creative ways.
On Wednesday 4th March the students will be presented with their award by Mike Foster, Minister for International Development, at a ceremony at the DFID headquarters in London. They will then visit Channel 4 News before moving to a private viewing studio where Momentum Pictures will treat them to a special preview of their forthcoming feature film about child soldiers ('Johnny Mad Dog': release 17th July).
