"I′m a sucker for projects where interactive media meets the real world and inspires or makes a difference. Tribe Wanted is just such an initiative. It brings people together on-line and on-the-ground - including on a remote island - to tackle the biggest issues of our day in a totally immersed, committed, fun, human way. How the project is run and presented online shows a very thoughtful, skillful approach to networked media"

Mark Bowness speaks at Young Voice ‘08

Filed Under The ramblings of a creative consultant

Today was a fantastic day. I had an incredible opportunity to speak at Young Voice ‘08 which is a conference dedicate to inspiring a new generation to become social entrepreneurs. I love opportunities to spend time with young people and encouraging them to do something worthwhile with their lives - to make a positive impact in the the lives of those around them and the environment in which they find themselves. Young Voice ‘08 was a fantastic platform to do this. It was also excellent to be speaking alongside Tim Campbell the winner of the very first ‘The Apprentice’ programme.

It was interesting that whilst I was at Young Voice ‘08, having heard me speak, one guy approached me who had heard of ‘Have You Got The Nerve?’ TV and he asked to film me for a short programme that he is working on for Channel 4 so that was exciting!
