Broad Bean Productions is a new partnership offering fun workshops in the fields of new media, music technology and communication for secondary schools, colleges and community youth groups.  We are a team of people skilled in the areas of the Internet, drama and music technology with experience of working within a school environment.  Our aim is to encourage those taking part to investigate the challenges and possibilities of using new media technology for themselves and for their schools.

Aimed at the 11 to 18 age range, the workshops are especially suited for students who are interested in one or more of the following areas: drama, music, ICT, the Internet and online entertainment.  The workshops aim to present and develop the use of new media skills  and expand the students’ interest in drama, entertainment and ICT with the overall goal of broadening the application of new and emergent technologies in the creative and educational spheres.

Using their own materials (e.g. scripted dialogues, music, interviews, etc.) the students work as a team in which each member has a defined role to produce a piece that can be streamed over the Internet or recorded as a podcast.

Our workshops can be tailored to suit the needs or preferences of individual schools and departments.  For more information or to make a booking please phone us on 01865 430 893 or email to info [at] broadbeanproductions [dot] cot [dot] uk.
