Education and training programs

SYN has a range of activities and programs that provide unique learning opportunities to students from all backgrounds and skill levels. Our programs teach digital and multi-literacy to young people from Victoria, providing a hands-on way of learning that engages young people.

SYN is unique in that its education and training programs are delivered via peer-to-peer learning.

SYN is committed to:

  • providing a relevant voice for youth as creators, not just consumers, of media;
  • delivering dynamic, hands-on media training and education;
  • providing access to media learning for as many young people as possible;
  • engaging disaffected students in learning;
  • connecting students with their community.

Radio tours

Almost every weekday, students from across Victoria visit SYN for Radio Tours.
The tour is 1.5 hours and goes over the essential components of producing and presenting a radio program, with the opportunity for hands-on experience in our production studio. During the tour, students see a youth media organisation in action, and have the chance to create their own radio program with the help of experienced young volunteers.
