Presenter Biography:
The Youth Media Team (YMT) is a group of teenagers who attend and report on various events and conferences. They first came together in May 2013 to add a young student voice to the annual ICT in Education conference. Since then, collectively and individually, the ‘red shirts’ have brought their unique blend of interviewing, blogging and tweeting to a number of events up and down the country. The team is primarily made up of students from schools in Thurles, Nenagh and Templemore, with mentors Pam O’Brien and Bernie Goldbach from LIT, and Dr. Conor Galvin from UCD, guiding them through the process. Since its inception membership of the team has changed but many of the original members are still involved.
