Every year, hundreds of young people appear on BNN channels and website--in studio productions, in dozens of high school games and neighborhood parades covered with our mobile production truck and in many shows produced by members and by BNN, such as BNN News and Around Town. We also provide a variety of hands--on training opportunities designed for youth to create their own programming. We partner with youth-serving organizations on training and productions. We provide cable channel time and online opportunities for young people to share programs they produce and we produce programming for youth as well.
SUMMER MEDIA PROGRAMS
Each summer we offer intensive media training programs to give young people production experience, promote teamwork, self-expression, critical thinking, and to have fun!
YOUTH VOICES: We offer a six-week summer intensive multimedia training program for field and studio production in partnership with Department of Youth Engagement and Employment. The resulting programs include short documentaries by the participants along with studio discussions about the important issues raised, including violence, discrimination and challenges for students with learning disabilities.
YOUTH TOURS: Your youth group can have a behind-the-scenes, hands-on tour of BNN's facilities. To book a time for your group to visit BNN contact membership@bnnmedia.org.
PARTNERSHIPS WITH YOUTH-SERVING ORGANIZATIONS: We provide special media production workshops in collaboration with youth organizations and schools.
This year students from Codman Academy Charter Public School produced a series of thought-provoking public service announcements.
TRAINING WORKSHOPS: We encourage young people to sign up for our regular workshop. We offer a variety of multimedia and studio classes. Upcoming Workshops.
