The Aboriginal Youth Media Team has been blessed to have incredible partners supporting our 'earn and learn' initiatives. In 2008/9, we provided training and support to promote media awareness, technology careers, and higher education in our community. 13 Youth directly benefitted from opportunities to develop a range of literacy skills needed for success in the 21st Century. We attended conferences, hosted workshops, researched and wrote lots of articles, made a DVD (see www.youtube.com/redway99). We had a blast connecting to you all.    This issue combines many of the articles written by Aboriginal Youth; please review our archives and check future issues for more incredible insights, stories and news items to learn about the diversity and talenst of Aboriginal people.
