Background of Area | Project Overview | Community Meeting | The Way Forward | ALL MULTIMEDIA

Now that the academic component of our critical media production project is finished, it is important to note that some of what we took into our communities is being taken to heart. After presenting our material to those who attended the meeting, we received a positive reaction from two of the community leaders: Janet, from Hoogenoeg and Sheila from Sun City.

These ladies proposed that a more united front be presented in relation to youth crime. Due to members of the Hoogenoeg community feeling that a lot of the crime in the area was the fault of youth from Sun City, the two areas fell into a kind of conflict. However, at our meeting it was proposed by Janet and Sheila that the two communities come to each other if they need help in dealing with problems.

Janet also asserted that she will continue spreading the material produced by Generation Join Up by reading some of the content out during her church service. Projects to involve the youth in after-school activities were also proposed, such as the soap initiative, where young people would be part of a soap making scheme. There were also offers of the refurbishing of church chairs in order to keep the youth occupied in a useful way.
