Join the success of SYN

Launched in January 2003, SYN is proudly Melbourne’s premier independent youth media organisation.

SYN is unique in that its education and training program is delivered via peer-to-peer learning. The current team of SYN trainers is uniquely positioned to offer fun, committed and exciting programs. Our current trainers are all aged between 16 and 24 and are at the forefront of digital media making, creation, story-telling, blogging, radio-making and TV making.

SYN is committed to:

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

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, as it is becoming clear that more and more young people are disenfranchised with traditional forms of education.
