The benefits of travelling 2008-05-21 17:50:00 As you are all aware there was no blog last week because I was away on my travels to work in Israel for the week. Hope it has been a productive fortnight for you since my last blog. My experiences over the last week are the topic of this week’s blog and the topic is what travelling can do for your personal development.In a world which is getting smaller and smaller by the minute where we have th
Does Anything Really Change? 2008-05-28 16:53:00 Does anything really change? Last week it was discussed in the news whether funding for youth related projects and schemes had actually made a noticeable or quantifiable improvement to the lives of young people or not.It is hard when you read the headlines over the weekend of murdered teenagers to actually imagine that funding is helping but how do you gauge the national and overall success of a p Read more:Change
Flava Have Got Talent 2008-06-04 16:32:00 Did you stay in all last week to watch Britain’s Got talent? If you have been watching the series then you will already know about some of the amazing talented youngsters we have in this country. However this week I am not dedicating the blog to the winner George Sampson who I personally thought was amazing but an act that made me proud to be Cornish that being beaten Semi Finalists the dance ac Read more:Flava

Londoncentric Thinking 2008-06-11 14:38:00 Many countries across Europe are currently enjoying following their national football teams in Euro 2008 where us English people have to watch other countries enjoying the party whilst wishing we were there as every game gets screened live on terrestrial TV.When England failed to qualify the national board the FA promised a what they were calling a root and branch investigation to get to the botto
The Global Credit Crunch 2008-06-18 16:50:00 The credit crunch is hitting the world hard. Prices of everyday items are going up, prices for petrol are rising and so on and so on. I don’t want to look at this from the affect this has on the economy or the general public, I want to look at this from the affect that it has on young people achieving their dreams.When there is a global credit crunch the government have less money to invest in y Read more:Global

Is Second Best? 2008-06-25 16:37:00 I was at home the other day and for the first time in ages turned on daytime TV for some background noise and happened upon a chat show that was discussing: Is Second
Best? The argument put forward was whether having to deal with defeat or finishing in second at an early stage of your career more helpful in the long term than instant success? This got me thinking so I wanted to share my thoughts w
Giving away music for free 2008-07-09 16:11:00 This month will see McFly trying to expand their fanbase by giving away their latest album for free through The Mail on Sunday through which they expect their album to reach three million homes in the UK. We have already seen the likes of Prince giving away his album through the Mail as well as Radiohead offering their album in exchange for a donation on the internet but it now looks like pop acts Read more:Giving
Reality TV 2008-07-02 17:47:00 During my weekly media consuming I came across a new programme on a channel called “Fiver.” The programme was called “Living Lohan” which is a fly on the wall docu-soap / reality programme on Lindsay Lohan’s younger sister Ali. The programme follows Ali through her home life as she tries to make a career in the music business and this programme got me thinking for this week’s blog.This
Dragons' Den 2008-07-23 13:29:00 I’ve been looking back over my blogs this week and realised I have never discussed the UK TV programme “Dragons
’ Den.” The sixth series has just started on BBC 2 and for those unfamiliar with the concept the programme sees up and coming entrepreneurs and inventors pitching their ideas to a panel of rich investors in the hope of getting one or more of them to invest in to their idea.I like
Youth Manifesto 2008-07-16 16:53:00 This week saw the launch of one of our most important projects to date the Talented Young People – Youth Manifesto
. With teen crime making daily headline news and with many people at a loss to what to do to combat it we had to step in. We could no longer sit idly by waiting for someone else to try and solve the problem we had to act. No longer could we continue to debate the rights and wrongs of
The Olympics 2008-08-13 16:18:00 After much press and politics surrounding the Olympics
it finally kicked off last Friday with another brilliant and interesting opening ceremony. In this blog I am going to be talking about my thoughts on the Olympics as a whole and not about the rights or wrongs of holding this years event in Beijing.I have always been a fan of the Olympics because it is one of the very few sporting events left w
Summer Blockbuster Films 2008-08-06 17:28:00 The weather may not be the best here in the UK at the moment but at least there have been some great Blockbuster
movies at the cinema to keep us happy. We have had the new Indiana Jones, Wall-E, Dark Knight, Prince Caspian, Hancock, Incredible Hulk and Kung-Fu Panda to keep us entertained with what seems like a must see film being released every week.Now I haven’t seen all on that list but from Read more:Summer

Shaking up the Youth of Today 2008-07-30 17:07:00 Do you ever think things need shaking up? Are you annoyed about things happening around you and want to see a change? Do you feel stuck in a rut and long for something different? If any of these are the case that means you are in the same boat as many others.With the current situation of highly publicised youth crime never has been there a more important time for a shake up within the media and a Read more:Shaking

Turning Ideas in to Action 2008-08-27 16:51:00 We have all had ideas we have never acted upon. During our day we think of great new inventions, business ideas, ideas for TV programmes and so on but by the end of the day we have either usually forgotten about them or if we do remember them we don’t do anything about them.Now I had a situation like this recently. I enjoy writing and spend much of my day working in a TV environment coupled with Read more:Action
Can you put an age limit on talent? 2008-08-20 16:44:00 After my blog last week on the Olympics I want to follow it up with a blog which has a slight link to the Olympics. This weeks blog is about finding out at what age are young people ready to realise their full potential and talent in their area of expertise. We have youngsters in the Olympics at the age of fourteen, sixteen year old football stars and young actors & actresses on our screens but do
