The Media Studio supports young people by providing creative workshops in film-making, animation, and social media. Our sessions give participants the chance to explore their creativity while building digital skills and confidence that will help them in education, work, and life.
Project Description
The Media Studio is a creative hub for young people, offering workshops in film-making, animation, and social media. Our mission is to support young people to develop digital skills, creativity, and confidence that will help them in education, future employment, and personal development. Through our workshops, participants learn practical, hands-on skills while exploring storytelling, teamwork, and self-expression in a safe and supportive environment.
Currently, the Media Studio does not have any laptops, which severely limits the workshops we can run. Many of the activities we want to offer — such as video editing, animation projects, and social media content creation — rely on up-to-date digital technology. Without access to laptops, young people are unable to engage fully with these opportunities, and we are unable to deliver the sessions we know could have a meaningful impact on their skills and confidence.
We are applying for £1,000 to purchase three modern laptops These laptops will provide the capability needed to run workshops efficiently and effectively. With reliable equipment, young people will be able to learn video editing, create animations, design digital content, and develop social media projects — skills that are increasingly relevant in today’s digital world. The laptops will also allow us to explore collaborative projects, where participants work in small groups to produce creative work, building teamwork and communication skills alongside technical ability.

How have young people been involved in shaping this project?
The answer to this question is private.
Location: The project will take place in The Media Studio, Halfway St, West Kilbride KA23 9EQ, serving young people from across the local area. Many of our participants come from backgrounds where access to digital technology at home is limited, making the Media Studio one of the few places they can gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools.
