Your Voice - Your Future"Your Voice - Your Future" is an innovative scheme taking place in schools across the Richmondshire District of the Yorkshire Dales, encouraging young people to explore the issues important to them through creating audio projects. Run by Richmondshire District Council and creative agency Heads Together as part of Richmondshire's Youth Strategy, youngsters have been encouraged to choose a topic they feel passionately about and then develop a proposal for a radio programme around it. The initiative will ultimately see a number of the audio projects created by these young people broadcast here on Daelnet and on BBC Local Radio and Fresh Radio. Over the coming weeks Daelnet will be keeping you up to date with the progress so far…we'll also be featuring diary entries compiled by the students and pupils as they work towards completing their audio projects... So keep checking back regularly to see the latest "Your Voice - Your Future" news...
Two heroic members of the RAF have paid a flying visit to Askrigg to help pupils turn their winning idea into a piece of radio reality. ![]() Tornado pilot, Flt Lt Mark Wilson and navigator, Flt Lt Ted Threapleton, made national headlines recently when they guided a stricken civilian aircraft to safety. This week they dropped in on pupils at Askrigg VC Primary to take part in a debate about low flying aircraft. Flt Lts Wilson and Threapleton joined pupils and local farmer David Amsden, to discuss low flying aircraft in the Dales, as part of their "Think High, Not Low" programme. "Think High, Not Low" will now go forward as one of the "Your Voice - Your Future" projects to be broadcast; other winning ideas include an investigation of activities for young children in Reeth and Gunnerside, road safety and speeding traffic in Colburn, and an exploration of how town pride can be used to bridge the generation gap in Leyburn. Pictured - from left - are Kirsty Watson from Heads Together with David Amsden, Flt Lts Wilson and Threapleton and young broadcasters from Askrigg VC Primary School.
