like as many Durham and Teesside Centres as possible to run
workshops to produce content for the exhibition. Sound bites
should be no longer than 20 seconds. Video can be digital or VHS.
Images should be 720 by 534 pixels in size. Assisance can be given
if needed for Centres to run workshops. The deadline for
delivering content for exhibition is March 1st. News
- Many UK Online Centres are now participating and the BBC Bus
has just joined us and will be collecting material throughout
February. Click here to see

of the kind of thing that can be done. |
