The Teens are Taking Control!

Teen Takeover – get involved

If you’re aged between 13 – 19 and have an interest in journalism, blogging, photography or design then why not be part of the Bedford Clanger’s Teen Takeover? In 2017, the September issue of the Bedford Clanger will be written and edited by Bedford’s teenagers as we throw open our pages to the Teen Takeover.

The Clanger team will collaborate with teens to decide the editorial content and allocate assignments.  The Teen Takover team will commission photography and artwork from their peers and work closely with our designers and editor to create the finished publication.

On Saturday 25th March we will be hosting an ‘open space’ conference at Bedford Girls’ School to create the Teen Takeover content.  The conference and workshops are free to attend –  the only barrier is your age, so if you are 13 – 19, please get in touch!

“We want to reflect the issues and aspirations of Bedford’s under 20s,” said Teen Takeover editor, Tilda Bywater.  “This is a great opportunity to showcase their opinions, talent and ambition.”

If you are a teen – or you know a teen who would like to take part – please email thebefordclanger@gmail.com with Teen Takeover as the subject heading.   We’d love to hear from students, apprentices, teen mums and dads, carers, volunteers, artists, photographers, writers, illustrators, designers plus teachers, youth workers and lecturers.
