Development, Engagement, and Employability Social Enterprise working directly with children, young people, and young adults between the ages of 11-16, 17-24, and 25-35. Open Lens Media is a Youth Training, Development and Broadcast Community Interest Company providing engagement and employability training programmes, projects and workshops that support young people in accessing further opportunities in education, employment, training and entrepreneurial ventures. We achieve this by using Media Production, Digital and Communication Skills as engagement tools to develop young people’s confidence, social communication and wider transferable skills. Through our interactive courses we provide young people with the opportunity to learn transferable Media Skills that are becoming increasingly in demand from employers and educators. Our work specialises in working closely with young people aged 11-15 and 16-29 stemming from underrepresented and hard to reach backgrounds, NEET and experiencing issues such as low achievement, poverty, youth violence and social exclusion. Our mission is to create and provide innovative and interactive learning tools, within safe
and fun environments that engage young people and encourage them to develop their personal, professional and academic skills.
