The animated film made by Redcar Mind group was part of an open day event held today at the Mind drop in centre in Redcar.

A great crowd turned up to meet the participants and find out more about activities that the centre is engaged in.

The film was made with the help of Destinations @ Saltburn UK Online centre and the University of Teesside as part of the Ufi funded Social Inclusion Demonstrators project. Using ICT the group demonstrated how a very powerful social message can be brought to many using digital means. It can be viewed via this blogg below.

This project was started in Adult Learners’ Week – May 2007 to explore Media Literacy.

The excercise was based on three ‘Internet radio’ workshops run in collaboration with Hope Foundation in Middlesbrough, residents of the village of Margrove Park and Destinations UK online centre in Saltburn.

The whole project is a collaboration between NIACE and University of Teesside Department of Academic Enterprise (Community Media).
