At Global Academy, we believe in nurturing the creative talents of our students, and one way we do this is through our renowned student-led initiatives, The Loop and Youth Choice. These platforms offer students the chance to broadcast their voices, create news content, and share their stories with the world. Recently, our Year 13 student leaders took the reins in recruiting and training the next generation of content creators for these exciting projects.
The process kicked off with a comprehensive briefing session for prospective Year 10 to Year 12 students. Sienna and Darcus, along with the Year 13 leadership team, shared their experiences and the incredible opportunities that The Loop and Youth Choice offer. The excitement was palpable as students learned about the state-of-the-art radio studios and the potential to make their own news broadcasts, social media content, and videos.
After the initial briefing, the students wasted no time getting hands-on experience. They were encouraged to try out and participate in small group training sessions within our cutting-edge radio studios. It was a chance for them to familiarize themselves with the equipment, learn the ropes, and discover the power of storytelling through audio and video media.
One Year 12 student exclaimed:
Learning from older students who are passionate about what they do is incredibly inspiring. I can’t wait to have my own Youth Choice show and be part of this creative community.
Global Academy’s commitment to empowering student voices extends beyond traditional radio broadcasting. The Loop and Youth Choice are not just brands; they are platforms for our students to create and share their content on various digital channels. From our website to TuneIn, Alexa, and GlobalPlayer, our students’ work reaches a global audience. Moreover, in the age of social media, they also engage with their audience on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, making their impact even more significant.
This recruitment campaign and training initiative exemplifies the spirit of collaboration and mentorship at Global Academy. Our Year 13 leaders are not only fostering fresh talent but also instilling a sense of purpose and creativity in the younger generation. We look forward to seeing the fantastic content that emerges from these budding young creators as they take the reins of The Loop and Youth Choice.
In conclusion, Global Academy’s The Loop and Youth Choice represent more than just media outlets; they are avenues for our students to find their voices, tell their stories, and make a meaningful impact in the world. We’re excited to welcome the new recruits and witness their journey as they contribute to these dynamic platforms.
