YOUNG MINDS

VISION

Our vision is of a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all children and young people. A society where children’s views are respected and they are loved, safe and enjoy life.

MISSION

  • To improve life chances for children and young people at risk of and experiencing difficulties with mental and emotional health
  • To achieve better outcomes for parents and families who engage with children’s mental health services
  • To promote the good mental health and emotional well-being of all children

VALUES

  • We are committed to promoting children’s mental health. We work as one integrated organisation where staff contribute their ideas actively. We work effectively in partnership with other charities and agencies and learn from good practice.
  • The needs and experiences of children and young people in mental distress drive our work and we make sure their voice is heard by those who influence change.
  • Our independence gives us the freedom to stand up and speak out on the issues that affect children and young people’s daily lives and the concerns of parents and families caring for their children in today’s pressurised and stressful world.
There are a cool team that helps youth find their mind balance. It sounds a good reason to check it out at least.

Social Media in Education. What do you think?

 

Here is a good study of how social media affects to education. Here in Enfuse youth we think that depends on what is used for. We understand that is an update of how people get connected today and we think that if they start using them since they are young, this will be reflected in their ability to use it for a professional goal.

 

Moreover, it also has lots of potential into their university learning stage. So here it comes a doubt to our head, do you think every university educator is prepared for it? Are the alumni more prepared for this social engaging live? Are we living in a transition phase and we have to wait till this gets more stabilized?

We will see!

Zoom Young Filmmaker Awards 2012

ENTRY GUIDELINES

What is the Zoom Young Filmmaker Award?

The Zoom Young Filmmaker Awards are designed to show the very best films made by Welsh
children and young people as part of Wales’ International Young Peoples Film Festival.

Will each film submitted be shown?


Not all films submitted will be shown during the Film Festival. We will choose films by screening
them for a panel consisting of Industry filmmakers and organisations. A panel of children and
young people from the Zoom Film Council, who help us plan the Film Festival, will also be
involved in the selection process.

What are we looking for?

There are no strict rules about what your film should be like. What we’re looking for is originality
and creativity. All we’re asking for is that the majority of your film’s crew, including the Director,
and those who appear on screen are aged between 8 and 19. The best films will have an
interesting story or subject matter, filmed and cut to the best possible standard within their time
and budget constraints. So if you have a good story you want to tell everyone and think you could
tell it in an original way, send it to us and you may well be seeing your work on the big screen.

CRITERIA FOR APPLICATION

1. Produced by children/ young people
By this we mean that the majority of the people involved in the production of the film must
be aged 19 or under when the film was made. The director of the film must be aged 19 or
under and have received no formal education in filmmaking above further education level. Any
questions please call Zoom 01443 888337.
