Youngsters from Castle Vale School have made a series of ‘podcasts’ (short interviews on audio) about life in Castle Vale. The youngsters in Year 10, helped by radio expert Nick Booth, used state-of-the-art digital recording equipment to interview adults and senior citizens about a variety of issues, before editing their recordings into short ‘bite-sized’ news features for audio (podcasts!)
Castle Vale’s 2005 Way Forward Group sponsored the project, which was called: ‘Over to you….’

The 3 podcast’s are very interesting, I found the youth activities one espesh good, what I want to know now tho is how the young people involved in it feel? Was it a good thing to be involved in, did they find it useful? and how can youth activities on the Vale can be improved? What would the 15s and higher want provided for them? Also would young people like to be involved more in the planning of some of the big events on the estate? come on young one’s give us your views!
