Dave & Eddie are looking for Young Reporters
Young Reporters is an amazing opportunity for budding young people to have their stories, photos, jokes, reviews and much more published in dedicated areas of our website and magazine. Anyone contributing will automatically become one of our official ‘Young Reporters’ and will have the opportunity to have their content shared in our magazine and on their own dedicated section of our website and Social Media. We are approaching schools, colleges, youth organisations and sports clubs to find out if they would like to nominate their own ‘correspondents’ to release press statements and keep us informed of the great things they are doing. In addition, individuals can become ‘freelance’ Young Reporters and report on the topics that interest them. This can be anything from movie reviews and photography to blogs on the latest fads and crazes. Eddie, the editor at ‘Edu-Life Kids’ is now recruiting and would love to hear from anyone who is interested in this fantastic opportunity to join our team. We would really like to share all the great things that young people are getting up to and hear their opinions on the things that influence and affect them. If any schools, clubs or organisations would like more information on how they can be involved, Dave, our Schools & Community Liaison, will be happy to arrange a visit.
2018, Dave had spent seventeen years working in secondary education in Thanet as a Sports Coach and in Pastoral and Behaviour management. During this period, he managed a highly respected, successful, award-winning ‘Young Sports Leaders’ scheme, training young students to organise and deliver a wide range of sporting activities to Primary and Secondary school groups. Dave intends to replicate, and surpass, this success with our new ‘Young Reporters’ scheme “Edu-Life Kids’. This scheme will enable young people from around Kent (and beyond) to share their stories, views and experiences with their peers. Dave and the rest of the Educational Life team are really excited about this project and can’t wait to hear what our ‘Young Reporters’ have to say.
Dave has worked with young people for nearly thirty years, firstly in the Leisure Industry then within the Education Sector. Whilst working in Leisure Centres, Dave was responsible for the running of all school holiday activity and coaching programs as well as the management of the centres.
