15 School teams in four South African provinces. Each with a video camera, MacBooks and iLife software and an opportunity to tell the story of the World Cup. Our Youth Press Team project encouraged young South Africans to get involved in the World Cup and to record this momentous event using their Mac computer labs to create videos for web and TV. It was about giving young people the tools to be included in a global event as well as the skills to create broadcast content. From June to July 2010 the teams produced more than 120 short videos, around 85 of which were broadcast on M-Net’s Magic World and SuperSport channels. This project was supported by
M-Net and SuperSport Let’s Play, the 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee, the Department of Basic Education and the International Marketing Council. Training for the teams was provided by Vega - The Brand Communications School.
