29-06-2009: The new media generation

A hundred of the smartest teenagers from across Somerset have gathered together for a three-day apprentice-style conference at the University of the West of England. IN teams, they have to produce a commissioned piece of art celebrating their brains, and will have to pitch a presentation, including a marketting ad to their peers and invited teaching staff tomorrow. They've been researching brains as well as pushing their own (and our!) grey matter to the limit. LimeGreen Media have been working with one group to produce a live radio programme for each day of the conference, using a mobile radio station designed especially for schools and facilitating new media experiences with the young people. These teenagers have never produced live radio before, they are scared and prepared to push themselves to achieve. We have learned as much from them as they learn from us, once again. It has never been clearer that the future of our society will be technical, personal new media and digital, with these young people leading the way. Using the experience we have with these young people LimeGreen are able to advise organisations how to communicate with the next generation.

02-06-2009: End of Life

The current guidance for doctors and other health professionals about how to treat and support people who are dying needs to be updated. How we end our lives is a hugely controversial and important area of ethics and the General Medical Council is responsible for setting the standards which they will later police amongst doctors. LimeGreen filmed at a conference gathering patients, health professionals, support organisations and ethicists together. The consultation process continues until later this year. You can contribute to it via their website and LimeGreen will be putting together information with the GMC on their new guidance early in 2010.

04-03-2009: Health and climate change

Climate change is not a popular subject amongst doctors, it seems! LimeGreen asked the 160,000 members of doctors.net.uk for their questions and comments to Dr Mike Gill, co-chair of the Climate Change and Health Council. Many of them were cynical about the evidence for climate change and whether action now can make a difference. Dr Mke Gill told us climate change is the biggest cause of environmental disadvantage for developing countries, that changing our lifestyle to prevent climate change would have a huge positive effect on obesity and other health conditions in the UK and that doing the right things now might not stop climate change, but can slow it down.

09-02-2009: Poducation and LimeGreen

The main hurdles for schools wanting to make podcasting a part of school life are the intial cost of equipment - both hardware and software usually - and also identifying the space available for studio recordings. But the creativity and technical skills required are right 'on message' for education at the moment. What's more, young people are very at home with new media. Communicating via the internet is second nature to children. It's the teachers who have the steepest learning curve! We are helping them overcome this with specialist training on in service and day release. If you want to know more - drop us an email!
