Further to the above, I'm told by Big Soc Training, who are carrying out the training exercise for Media Trust, that they have another ongoing project here. In their words:
"We are launching an E-zine called Dandelion on 12/2/12, produced by young people and for young people of 14-24. This is a ongoing project .. we are permanently on the look out for young contributors with story ideas and also volunteers to be in the editorial team which meets weekly. They can contact us via the website www.dandelionproject.org or contact helen@bigsoctraining.com ."
