The switch project offers a full range of digital media programmes for young people, from primary school age through to young adults. Sessions can be tailored to any subject or issue you choose. Successful projects so far have covered topics such as:

• Bullying
• Anti-social behaviour
• Local environment
• Teenage fathers
• Sexual health and safe relationships
• Creative consultation
• Confidence building
• Substance misuse
• Enrichment activities

Sessions can be held at our base in Pendeford, alternatively we can take our workshops to deliver in any location or setting. We are ideally situated to work with any school, organisation or community group throughout the West Midlands.

We can also offer a range of nationally recognised qualifications that compliment the digital media, all of which are on the Qualifications and Credit Framework and use the Learning Foundation model. These include:

• Music Technology
• Graphics
• Expressive Arts
• Social and Personal Development
