 The Department for Education, in partnership with the National Council for Voluntary Youth Services [NCVYS], brought together over 270 delegates with a stake in services for young people on March 9 2011. Danielle Vitalis gave a presentation on the L8R project with the usual confidence, charm and just plain cool!
 Four great new short films for East End Film Festival’s Vault programme are now complete. This year we worked to the East End Film Festival’s chosen theme “Aspire”. With access to athletes likely to be competing in 2012, Hi8us South also asked the participants look at ways in which the Olympic aspirational goals are reflected in their own communities.
 The Bridging Cultures Awards from the Institute of Community Cohesion supported by the Baring Foundation is a prestigious awards programme that recognises great achievement in community cohesion. Bow Then and Now received the Highly Commended Award at this year’s ceremony.
 L8R Youngers received the third BAFTA nomination in our company’s history. We were genuinely surprised when at the awards ceremony on 28th November, we were announced as the winner in the Primary Learning category.
 After a couple of years of defining the old adage “a cobblers shoes are never shorn”, we’ve finally got an online presence that lives up to much of what we’ve been doing on our projects.
 The films produced by the young people on the MyView project are fulfilling the expectations set by the effect they had on all who saw them at the plenary workshop and Channel 4 earlier this year.
 Young participants in year one of Vault, the Olympic filmmaking project delivered by Hi8us South for the East End Film Festival, presented their films to huge acclaim at a prestigious event at London’s Barbican Centre…
 MEE TV, our Extended Schools project for the Mile End East area working in St Paul’s Way Trust School reached it’s climax yesterday with a special screening event at Café Reconnect.
 Our latest work for broadcast, L8R Youngers, will be aired on BBC2 next Monday 22nd March at 10.30am.
 Robots & Avatars is programme delivered by body>data>space in partnerships with NESTA which “explores how young people will work and play with new representational forms of themselves and others in virtual and physical life in the next 10-15 years.” Danielle has this ability of staying true to who she is and where she comes from while delivering with charm and confidence an intelligent thesis on the work.
