LONDON YOUNG VOICES With St Michael and All Angels, Peckham Academy, Goose Green Primary School and SILS 4, Southwark.TV is determined to find a way of celebrating the positive qualities of young people faced with the wave of knife and gun crime we are all experiencing. We are coming towards the conclusion of the autumn project producing positive media. This does not mean 'fluffy' either. We are starting a partnership with Peckham Space, a new gallery going up in front of the Peckham Library, where we will show the films in 2010. On the U Speak page, you will find a link to a YouTube video which will make you think ...


	Southwark.TV Archive We are planning an archive of local media, short films and documentaries, both from Southwark.TV's partner groups and schools but also from local people generally, of all ages and abilities. Local history, local representation ... you name it. If you have a film to offer for people to access in this central repository, send it to Community TV Trust, 10 Denman Road SE15 5NP.

WEB-EVENT-TV ... is the mix that we believe makes robust local media. That's our Southwark Template ... but now "TV" includes IPTV !

There are 3 ways off this page - via Sitemap, Select A Partner and the navigation buttons - to over 50 groups and schools from the Southwark area. Each runs their own space, making up Southwark.TV. This public space for community voices has no political or religious views of its own, but with our broadcast TV experience and training expertise we encourage all to find their voice and have their say. This venture in open-access community media is run by Community TV Trust who have space on this website as well as their own.

Southwark.tv has a friend - in Nepal ! See navigation NEPAL to read what Rachana has to say.
