Short film review of a two day training course for youth professionals.

(GBR) Check out this short film review of the two day youth professionals MediaSnackers training course in Plymouth for Creative Partnerships we delivered right before Christmas.

Music: The Rivers

The Creative Partnerships team enjoyed the Mediasnackers two day youth professional course immensely. We all feel empowered to use a vast array of I.T. tools and would thoroughly recommend the training. DK and Mark were very helpful and flexible in tailoring the two days to a group of fifteen people with different levels of experience.
