Healthy Sex Forever

A series of resources produced for Stoke on Trent Public Health promoting good sexual health for people over 50.
The work and ideas were developed though a series of workshops with members of the public who are over 50 and a group of health professionals.

Sexual Health and People Over 50

As life expectancy increases we are more likely to become widowed, separated or divorced and so it has become more common for us to start new relationships.
Whatever your age it is important not to take risks with your sexual health.
Following a Healthy Sex Forever consultation we have now developed resources aimed at people over 50 that will help you:

To feel confident that sexual health services are for you
To recognise when a talk with a health professional about your sexual health might be useful
To know how to contact sexual health services

National Memory – Local Stories

New website launched featuring work from Media19’s latest project in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery, London.
National Memory – Local Stories

Working at museums in Salisbury, Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff, Media19 worked alongside young people to enable them to create their own visual responses to the events of World War 1 using digital media. The brilliantly visual work reveals great thought and insight into what it meant to them, exploring many different themes and ideas and allowing young people to find their own way of connecting to these historic events. It creates a whole new set of contrasting imagery as part of the 2014 WW1 commemorations.

See the work produced here: National Memory – Local Stories

Partner Museums are:
The Rifles Museum, Salisbury; National Museum Northern Ireland;
National Museums Scotland; National Museum Wales

Campaign Trail

Campaign Trail UK is a nationwide multi-media project supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation that enables young parents – young mums and young dads – to speak out about their lives and the challenges they face – who they are, how they feel and the issues that matter to them.

With support from experienced media producers, a series of creative workshops enable the participants to develop their skills in using digital photography, film, video archive, research and written texts to produce imaginative digital content for their peer to peer education projects, public awareness and community campaigns, for others to learn from.

Their powerful and moving images, produced as posters, video and digital content are used within education, public exhibition, health, online, broadcast and community settings to influence and inspire their peers to make informed parenting, sexual health and relationship choices. (more…)
