Converge (an ITM project) created new opportunities for young people to exhibit and distribute moving image productions.
The project:

• Developed a website and published information, about existing sites where young people can upload their digital videos.
• Run a series of ‘How To’ hands-on workshops across a number of the partner groups, to enable young people to fully utilise both existing offers and build their own open source based channels.

The Inclusion Through Media (ITM) partnership, led by Hi8us Projects started in 2004. More than 20 UK partners and eight Transnational partners have produced a vast range of creative film, video and digital media work made by talented young people from different backgrounds, different parts of the country and different European countries.

ITM has been an enormously successful partnership with impressive outcomes and achievements. With the programme coming to an end in December 2007, we would like to celebrate, highlight and share our best practice. Above all we want to showcase the successful and innovative work of our participants, with our participants.
