KWMC
At Knowle West Media Centre we believe that the arts have the power to make a difference to our lives, our neighbourhoods and our environment. We’re an arts organisation and charity based in Knowle West, Bristol and we’ve been supporting individuals and communities to get the most out of digital technologies and the arts since 1996. In practice, this means providing exciting and relevant ways for people to get involved in community activism, education, employment, and local decision-making.
Young people at Creative Hub tested our YouDecide voting app this week at KWMC and Would Like To Meet event. Great feedback and interesting to hear young people's views on their communities and what differences they would like to see...
Really enjoyed Saturday's KWFest! Lots of great activities, workshops, food, projects, music, local people!
Young people from South Bristol joined Knowle West Media Centre (KWMC) this month to make their green pledges for Do 15 in 15 campaign. They pressed the button supplied by Bristol 15 which is travelling around the city helping organisations launch their pledges. The young people aged 9-18 were taking part in KWMC'S Summer Programme.

Youngsters learnt how to build and programme robots today at Knowle West Media Centre. It was one of the many activities taking place during the organisation's STEAM week (Science, Technology, Art and Maths) which runs until Friday 14 August for young people aged nine and above.
A week of coding, app-making and fun has been happening at Knowle West Media Centre (KWMC). Young people aged 8-18 have been designing and making their own apps - with the help of mentors - at the Rewired State Festival of Code. They will all be off to Plymouth University on Friday 31st July for the weekend to present their apps to a team of judges - we wish them luck.
Excellent presentation from @knowlewestmedia junior digital producers @wshed this lunchtime http://t.co/DNGvaFOXPU
Wildfest 2014 saw hundreds of people once again ambling to the Northern Slopes for a day of free creative and green activities! Lots of smiling people, great food, music and activities enjoyed by all! Thanks to Youth Moves for organising.
This week young people are enjoying a week of coding, app-making and fun. Designing and making their own app – mentors on hand to help them. From Monday to Thursday they are making and coding at KWMC; from Friday to Sunday they'll be at Plymouth University presenting their apps to a team of judges!
We got a chance to check out the new roundhouse building project at Springfield Allotments, after seeing photos of what it's going to look like when it's finished I can't wait to see it! A great project for young people in KW to be involved in.
