Media Training

Gillian Cooke from Commonwealth Games Scotland attended the YPSP meeting to deliver Media Training (requested by the ypsp). The training was very well received by all and covered many topics such as what is media, information on the various types of social media and how to best use it. Gillian also led the group through a practical session where the young people participated in individual live interviews with feedback and top tips on how to come across well in live interviews. Thank you to Gillian for giving up her time and coming along to deliver the training.
