This has caught my attention for several reasons, particularly if some of the organisations the students work with are focussing on sustainability, but also for my interest in how new technologies can be applied creatively.
The yMedia Challenge is connecting media students with not-for profit organisations. Over the weekend of 27-28 October 2007, students and organisations will come together to hear inspiring leaders, brainstorm possible digital solutions and share knowledge and ideas.
During the following week the students will produce an effective and intelligent digital media solution for those organisations selected. This could involve anything from making a website to filming a short promotional video.
Any not-for-profit organisation can register to participate up until 15 August 2007. Students are eligible for prizes for work completed judged by a panel of top industry professionals.
