Watershed in Bristol began running citizen journalism (CJ) workshops for young people in March 2010 in collaboration with writer, educator and broadcaster David Goldblatt. The workshops were part of the four-year long 'RELAYS at Watershed' programme that led up to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Over 18 months we ran eight CJ projects with 70 young people who used smartphones to report on topics ranging from Paralympian athletes training in Bath to a unique cultural quarter in Bristol - and all things Olympic in Weymouth.
'RELAYS at Watershed' has come to an end but we're continuing with the citizen journalism strand of work under the name of News from Elsewhere.
This blog is a continuation of the 'RELAYS at Watershed' Posterous blog. Posterous is closing at the end of April 2013 so the blog is now archived on Watershed's website.
This News from Elsewhere blog is for documenting the progress of new citizen journalism work, this is where we'll report on our future projects - who was involved, how we ran the workshops, successes, challenges and what might change next time.
