Young Person's Media Project
FARE’s Young Person's Media Project aims to provide young people with new skills in the media and support them to confidently interact with all aspects of media. We teach young people new skills in communication, digital photography, film making, animation, graphic design, desktop publishing and journalism.
Young Voices Magazine
The young people involved actively run a quarterly youth magazine for the local area called Young Voices. The magazine is written and edited by young people from schools and youth clubs across Easterhouse. The aim of the magazine is to enable young people to write about issues affecting them and things that they are interested in and to inform teenagers in an informal manner on subjects which affect them at this stage in their life, i.e. alcohol, drugs, the law, territorialism.

Young Voices Online
FARE’s Young Person's Media Project and John Wheatley College’s Youth Access project have recently joined forces to bring a new multimedia dimension to the Young Voices magazine. In a new arrangement supported by Glasgow City Council's Glasgow Community Planning Partnership, the Media Group has taken over the Youth section of the Glasgow East Pathfinder. The online version of the magazine incorporates all the articles and reviews currently available in the printed version as well as multimedia output created by the young people in Glasgow East. This includes animation, video, photography, graphics and music.
We are still in the process of setting up and changing the look of the site so please check back regularly for updates.

Video Projects
The Media Project is currently involved in a number video projects. The video projects enable young people to express their views/opinions and individuality through digital photography, filming and editing. Challenge stereotypical views of local young people and help develop IT and multimedia skills in an interactive and fun environment, increasing their self confidence.
