A WARRINGTON-based partnership has won a €45,000 grant for a multi-media youth project to run jointly with German twin town Hilden.
The project will involve schools and other partners in Warrington and in Hilden in making short films about local places of historical or cultural significance.
Partners involved in the project will include Accent, the Warrington and Halton Music Hub, with Culture Warrington, Priestley Sixth Form College, Warrington Collegiate and the Heath School Runcorn, supported by Warrington Borough Council.
Cllr Colin Froggatt, the council’s lead member for children and young people, said: “Accent and its partners have done really well to earn this funding and the project will ultimately involve over 100 young people in Warrington and Halton.
“The project will give opportunities for those young people to develop skills in research, in music, in film-making and IT. It will be good fun and it will help improve the bond between Warrington and Hilden.
“The end product should be quite spectacular. The students will be
creating a smartphone app which will allow people to access a series of short films using QR codes, and we will also have a film projected in three dimensions onto a large public building, accompanied by music composed by some of the students involved in the project.”
The project will run into the New Year and will culminate with celebration events in Warrington and Hilden in April and May 2015 respectively.
