Swoosh Vale Schools Tour 2010!
The Swoosh website team has just started its promo tour to all secondary schools in the Vale of Glamorgan. The tour will be paying a visit to a school near you! Swoosh has already been to Barry Comprehensive and given out over 300 goodie bags! So watch out Swoosh is coming to you soon!
Swoosh has been an exciting project, and we have been working closely with young people all over the Vale of Glamorgan to design the website, choose a name and join the editorial group. Finally in December 2009 Swoosh was launched - and looks great!
So let me tell you a bit about Swoosh....
Swoosh provides you with news/stories, events, information and activities in the Vale of Glamorgan. This information is on a wide range of topics and services, as well as information on issues and where to get support. There is an online database of all the organisations and clubs in the Vale of Glamorgan who offer youth activities and services. These include sporting clubs and leisure activities, youth centres and voluntary groups, social and health services and careers and education and many more!
The great thing about Swoosh is that the website allows you and youth organisations to upload your very own stories/articles, pictures, videos(via YouTube.com), and you can publicise events and activities.
Want to get involved? Join the Swoosh Editorial Group!
Part of the Swoosh is to have an Editorial Group of young people who can steer the website and content. This group meets to discuss the running of the website and young editors act as Swoosh reporters, gaining skills and experience along the way.
If you're a young person and feel you can contribute and would like to get involved and join the group, please contact the Swoosh Editor, Dominique LeSauteur, by phone on 01446 733622 (ex14) or by email at dominique@swoosh.me.uk
