The Edit

What is The Edit?

Young people’s voices and views should be heard and creativity shared. The Edit is a digital storytelling challenge series that gives young people aged 8-18 the chance to create a 90-second news report or a digital infographic about a person, issue, or topic that truly matters to you or your community, exploring the theme of wellbeing: mental, physical, financial, or social.

This initiative comes with ready-made lessons designed to align with the education curriculums across the UK and Ireland. It's easy to integrate into your existing lesson plans, making it simple to bring digital storytelling into your classroom.

“Because it's so creative, it engages everybody no matter their academic ability. Some children, they might be less academic, but they might be more creative, and they might really shine when they're editing. They can all have a role in it, whether it's the filming or the editing.“
