About iSchool Africa Press Team
iSchool Press Team is a unique programme that started in 2010 with the World Cup as a vehicle for youth to get involved in the historic event and share their views and capture the hype around the massive event through short films made on Mac technology. The success of the initiative prompted iSchoolAfrica to immediately launch a complete programme to continue to give young SA a voice and provide a new and sustainable platform for young people of various backgrounds to present their opinions and become vehicles for social change. Viewpoints are captured in one-minute videos where the students brainstorm, script, film and edit their \u2018masterpieces\u2019 which are then shared through a multitude of platforms for the world to see.<\/p>\n
