Hey guys!

So the crew of the cave is back! And this time there are 5 new members! But you already know 3 of them from Cave Crew 2; Katiah, Acacia and Zara – the girls from the “haunted” school. You will meet the new 2 soon.

We have got 4 new macs coming into school, so once we get them, we will edit the film, then post online!

Is this gonna be the last Cave Crew? You’ll have to wait and see!

33 Things the Youth of Newman Can Do

// November 24th, 2009 // No Comments » // Blog, Our Say

I once had a mentor tell me that when working to empower people, all you can really do is ‘hold the crown out in front of them’ – it’s up to them to step up into that crown and claim it.

We’ve been in Newman for nearly 12 weeks now working to help local kids make media, videos and websites, as well as fundraise, run a film night and even get mentions in both print and on television!

On our last ‘workday’ with them we did a nice review of everything they’d learned. At this point, without any youth center or community technology space to call their own – it’s up to Newman’s youth to determine their future as the town’s central media makers. Our hope is that they’ll be able build on the skills and creativity they’ve developed these past 12 weeks.

That said, here’s a blog ‘toast’ to the 33 things the youth of Newman can do…so far. Continue Reading

Thank you to all those people who came to the Film Festival on Thursday! It was a great turn out and we hope you had fun!!

The youth of Newman are looking for a youth centre for where we can go and have some fun, because right now, the kids of Newman have no where to go and they are bored out of their minds and doing graffiti and breaking in around town. So please, please, please! Sign our online petition for a youth space at http://support.newmanyouth.com !!

Sleepover Yourspace

// October 23rd, 2009 // No Comments » // Blog, Events

Sleepover Yourspace was a blast! Around 15 people came and we ended up watching a movie called ‘Bring It On’ (corny chic flick) because ‘Up’ had a few problems…

Setting it up was HOT! But it was worth it ’cause we all had soo much fun and slept really early!! *cough cough*

We played the wii almost all night and Shakthi flogged at tennis!! After, we sat in a circle and introduced ourselves to everyone else, then some people wrote more things they wanted to see in Newman for a youth centre… Once we did that, it was time to settle down which was around 11:30pm to 12:00am.. We watched ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’ and everyone fell asleep… And of course I, (Kimberly) didn’t sleep until around 3:00 -4:00am because I’m pretty sure I had too much cordial… Hahahahaha!

Thanks to everyone that came to the movie night and the sleepover! We hope you had fun!
