Pass The Mic: Media Training For Young People

Portland, Camperdown and Warrnambool sessions. 

Have an idea you want to pitch or a project to share? Want to learn about the media machine? Come to YACVic’s free Media Training and learn what the media is, how to think critically about the media you use, how to talk to them and how to share an idea! And more!

What to expect

Do you want to speak to the media on an issue that affects you?

Young people should be actively advocating and representing their communities in the media on issues we care about. Yet only 1% of stories in Australian mainstream media directly quote young people.

YACVic are running dedicated media training for young people aged 12 to 25. This workshop equips you with the tools and knowledge to understand the media, know how to pitch a story, write a media release, use social media and nail a media interview.

This session is designed for a small group of up to 30 young people.

Topics we cover:

  • Understanding the Media Mix 
  • The Media today 
  • The power of storytelling 
  • Target audience 

Who should attend

This workshop is for young people aged 12 to 25 who want to engage with the media.
