The key activities of this project is as follows:
- train/coach young people in the Macedon Ranges LGA to interview, present, engage in print/electronic media and production;
- engage with young people in the issues/concerns that they have to produce a radio/podcast product for the broader community;
- engage with a range of at-risk groups of young people in collaboration with other services in the area (i.e. schools, youth groups and councils).

Young people will be involved in the design, production and creation of the podcast and radio programs with the mentoring of industry experts and youth workers.

The project will benefit the local community through the following:
- development of a media product made by and for young people that speaks of the issues/concerns of the day (this will also benefit the rest of the community);
- the radio broadcast will cover a third of regional Victoria;
- develop skills, knowledge and confidence of young people to use electronic media;
- development of a product that seeks to inform young people and the community of issues affecting the mental health of young people;
- young people develop pathways for future interests and employment.

This is an exciting and unique project enabling young people being able to speak out on community radio, and I fully endorse all of the supportive comments below.

Having access to a podcast on the Highlands FM website, this project is a collaboration between Cobaw Health and Highlands 100.7 FM which involves groups of young people from the community who are at risk where they get the opportunity to ask their own questions regarding health and wellbeing issues with various health professionals where a different topic is covered each week and in doing so are providing valuable health and wellbeing information to listeners who access the website. It appears that each week a podcast on different health and wellbeing issues will be discussed. I believe the ultimate aim of the podcast series is a library of issues and solutions that can be accessed at any time of concern. The value of using a radio podcast is that the information can be accessed on the internet at any time anywhere .

A great project providing the future generation with a voice and the opportunity to understand the expanding and changing world of the 'media'.

A wonderful project where local young people can have a voice, learn skills and share their views through a fantastic medium.
