Point Of View

Empowering rural young people to speak their minds, get their voices heard and make a difference.

Point of View (P.O.V.) creative programme empowers rural young people to share their lived experiences, needs and ambitions in ways that promote change, inform local policy, and challenge unfair systems/injustice.

Creative expression, storytelling and communication skills are at the heart of the programme and, benefitting from Rural Media's proven 30-year track record delivering participatory social impact and influencing projects, embeds sustainable routes for rural young people to take the lead on creating the lasting changes they want to see across Herefordshire and Shropshire.

Information about POV current activity is detailed under Projects and work from POV 2019 onwards is hosted under past projects

Testimonials

“Rural Media is important because it gives young people a voice. It makes them feel that what they have to say is important. It gives them a bit of power. It gives them enjoyment to say their stuff when there's nowhere else in the world for them to say it.”
"P.O.V. helped me articulate myself better and taught me to conduct myself professionally. It gave me reassurance on my skills.”

POV Producers create content throughout the year responding to themes, issues and ideas.

POV Producers are a group of young people from Herefordshire and Shropshire who meet regularly to make digital creative content responding to issues and themes of interest to them and other young people.

Taking commissions from other organisations to make youth-based creative content, the group of young people are aged 14-22 years.
