Dubit to lend a hand to WORLDbytes...

WORLDbytes is a UK based charity set up to provide educational projects and provide international understanding through raising much needed debates.

Global equality is the main centre of the charity and the aim is to show everyone that in our world everyone is equal and we all have the same right to enjoy our lives with equal happiness... hence their slogan; 'Ferrari’s for all.'

They are encouraging young people like you to examine the real world and support your peers using film and new media technologies. Interested? Keep on reading!

Volunteers don’t need any skills, so don’t worry!!

Just come along with a passionate frame of mind and we’ll have endless jobs for you! Just fill in the Volunteer enquiry form at http://www.worldbytes.org/training-booking.html.

You can attend an open evening to meet the team and tell them of your needs and interests. And from there your opportunities are numerous! They include jobs such as ‘London Behind the scenes’. This basically gave a number of our ambitious volunteers a chance to do an on-foot tour of London and produce a film uncovering the reality of the industry, the way things really are.

However this is no ordinary tour. You will discover the hidden treasures and darkest secrets of London town, whilst filming a programme to be screened on the run up to the Olympics. ‘The More the Merrier’, is an example of what has been produced so far by ‘London Behind the scenes’, so get stuck in and your film could be up there!

Or for something a little more adventurous, volunteers have recently shot ‘Flush it!’ – A film based on a lot more than just loos! Each volunteer, many of which were shooting for the first time, explored pumping stations, sanitary ware, fresh water reservoirs, you name it. The volunteers experienced film training throughout the process and gained hands on experience with the equipment. Sign up to WORLDbytes charity, and you could join in on the fun.

There is a huge range of jobs for volunteers: take part in projects similar to those above: shoot programmes, links and extra material, join a current team of actors... pretty much anything that will help advance global perspectives.

The best thing is that it can be based almost anywhere and is very flexible time wise.

Your creations will be broadcasted on WORLDbyte’s monthly alternative news programme to spread the word and open up the organisations to potential newcomers. All reports and programmes are filmed by the young volunteers themselves and feature hard truths and hidden tales of current affairs that are covered by the mainstream media.

Volunteers for WORLDbytes are of all ages, so fitting in is never a problem. Meet some of the crew:

Benjamin Hoyte: Hi, I'm Ben I'm 15 years of age and I go to Stratford Secondary School and I'm currently in my last year. I want to become a journalist-newsreader and that's why I volunteer with WORLDbytes. I think this is a great opportunity to express my many views on things that occur in today's society.

Robert: Male, 23 years old. Half French, half English. I currently freelance as fixer and researcher and logger, and would like to start an independent production company. Why WORLDbytes: Great Programme. I want to learn more skills in lighting & camera work, and WORLDbytes will help me to do this.

So what we’re trying to say is, becoming part of the charity can offer young people experience and training in technical equipment, so don’t be afraid, join the creative crew today - your opinion counts too and your chance to be heard through the news channel is through WORLDbytes!
