Media Event Overview
If you've looked at the schedule for April 22-25, you have likely noticed there's a lot going on. To help make life simpler for everyone, we've identified the following stories and angles that the Youth Media Team will be attempting to cover. Their coverage will be available to you either by direct feed or from the VAC website. If you plan to assign staff for your own coverage, we'll be glad to share with you any advance work we've done on the following stories and have the Youth media Team assist you in any possible way:
A meeting of Canada's and Norway's most decorated living war heros. Are the lessons learned then still relevant? Tour of Camp Hill facility included. Youth and war veterans working to preserve history. Passing on the horror and the glory while it is still living history. Two days of bus tours with students and veterans mixed and matched. Youth Media Team covers the event with poetry, art, radio and print. Something new.....youth covering youth in a way it has not been done before. The Norweigan Ambassador visits Nova Scotia.
