Undoc Camp: Commissioned by Paul Hamlyn Foundation and run by On Road Media.
On the 13 and 14th July 2012, Paul Hamlyn Foundation hosted over 100 people made up of developers, designers, innovators and children and young people from migrant communities for Undoc Camp -- a 2-day event to look at how we can get information and support to young people and children who do not have regular immigration status in the UK, using digital technology and social media.

All About Trans (previously known as Trans Media Action), has worked with the trans community since 2011, to devise ways to improve media professionals' understanding of trans people, encouraging them to find out more and to create more sensitive portrayals of trans people in their work.
We focus on positively connecting media professionals with the community across the UK, using the web, digital storytelling and face-to-face meetups. We've held interactions with tabloid and broadsheet newspapers, gossip magazines, BBC, Channel 4 and independent media to encourage greater understanding in the public eye.
All About Trans is an On Road project supported by Channel 4, BBC and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. For more: http://www.allabouttrans.org.uk/

We're running Trans Camp on January 13th at Channel 4. We're bringing together trans people, developers, designers and innovators to come up with ideas to improve the lives of trans people using web technologies and the media. Although around half of the participants will be trans there will also be people there who have never knowingly come across a trans person. So, we want your short video responses to one or more of these questions. You can use your phone, webcam or something fancier -- it doesn't matter as long as we can hear you and see you (or whatever you choose to film while you're speaking or subtitling.) Your videos will be played at Channel 4 on 13th January to the participants of Trans Camp. They will also be put together on a website for people to see in the run up to the camp and afterwards. Your videos will be public so you must be sure you're happy for them to be seen by anyone online.
QUESTIONS: Answer ONE* question per video -- max 1 minute CHILDHOOD: For those of you who knew, what was it like growing up as a trans child? MEDIA: How does media coverage of trans people affect you? COMEDY: How do comedy portrayals of trans people affect you? FAMILY: How have you experienced support, or lack of, from family and friends?
