Our 2022 finalists got together as a group for the first time recently. They attended a live workshop on how to use social media. Cool FM / Downtown Radio presenters Rebecca McKinney and Caroline Fleck shared the secrets of their success.
As well as being a co-presenter of Cool FM’s breakfast show, Rebecca is also a successful fashion stylist and Instagram influencer. Caroline Fleck hosts her own show on Downtown Radio. The pupils were able to find out how Caroline and Rebecca create and manage good quality media content to have impact and create engagement with the target audiences for their projects.
They also got to create their own piece of video content with help and feedback from the trainers. The event was kindly hosted at CAFRE Loughry Campus.
