Charitable production company. Engaging young people in their communities - Supported by profits of www.CatchCreative.co.uk - Corporate Video & Film
Catch21 Productions a charitable production company which trains young people to make films about their communities and is funded by the profits of its commercial arm which offers full scale video production and video PR services.
Catch21 believes in democracy. The problem as we see it is that for democracy to function properly, everyone needs to have the same level of information. However due to inability, apathy and inaccessibility this is not always the case. Our aim is to remedy these factors by providing the access and information to participate and by empowering young people to make them feel a part of their communities. We promote the idea that political participation is the most important step a person can take to influence the decisions that affect their lives. Democracy is compromise, but compromise can only be reached if everyone has their say. Essentially Catch21’s aim is to make young people more equal through the advancement of the eduction of politics. We are a platform for young people. Our blog gives young people aged 18-25 a voice, providing a forum where they can express their opinion and have their say on issues that they feel passionately about. As a production company, we are able to use our expertise to host and produce a number of videos. From Uni-Q, where we give young people the chance to debate directly with politicians in a Question Time-style format, to i-MP where we have connected young people with politicians by via video diaries of MPs on topics that directly concern the youth of this country. Our most recent project was a mass video campaign called #EU4U which reached over 1500 people.
