Video Republic
How young people are changing Europe
Production companies and broadcasters no longer hold a monopoly over moving-images - instead, a new theatre of public information has emerged. Spread across the internet, television, festivals and campaigns this emerging ‘Video Republic’ is a messy, alternative realm of video creation and exchange, dominated by young people. Who inhabits, shapes and regulates the Video Republic?

We're busy writing up the Children of Europa project at the moment. We're really excited about how the pamphlet is shaping up. The launch will be in early September - do get in touch if you'd like to know more.
We've digested a lot of online video over the past 9 months. Yes, there's a lot of nonsense. But there's a lot of cracking content out there. Here's just a couple of videos I've enjoyed:
The web is us/ing us
Dr Michael Wesch has some cracking videos on his YouTube channel. This is still my favourite:
EUTube
The European Union has it's own YouTube channel, and one short film really stood out. It's about careers in research. Apparently.
Bertie Ahern 'on' Dragons Den
A mash-up of Bertie Ahern's campaign speech with some decidedly sceptical responses from the panelists of Dragon's Den.
Obama
He's basically YouTube president. In a way. There are plenty of Obama videos to choose. I enjoyed this one though:
Wine gums experiment
Vlogger charlieissocoollike invested a not inconsiderable amount of effort mapping the frequency of different coloured wine gums in wine gum packs. Not as banal an event as it might seem, I think.
