We have invited Hannah Higginson from Watershed to introduce a new project co-creating media content with young influential, 'trenders', the new generation of YouTubers, tweeters and bloggers. She will be joined by participants from Bristol Talent Lab which aims to bring together the best in youth online talent in Bristol. We will be hearing from some of the people who create and share some of the most popular content in the city on everything from fashion to feminism, from music to being a Muslim. This new programme invites these online trend setters to work with Watershed to help co-create a new online platform for young people in their city using their knowledge of the digital space to decide how it will look, what content will be created and who will be involved.  Watershed are working with Latimer Creative Media – an award-winning, youth-centred social enterprise committed to affecting social change through creative media and film production – to run Bristol’s Talent Lab, which take place at Watershed in February half term. Join us for this Friday lunchtime talk and learn about their approach to co-creation with young people and what ideas this talented group of online trenders have for a brand new youth platform for the city.
