Trashed is a creative online platform for teenagers. It’s part online youth culture magazine and part personalised portfolio – allowing them to create and collaborate on multimedia content with direct help and advice from working professionals in the music, fashion, media and arts industries. The platform facilitates and encourages collaboration – users can work alone, in groups, or remotely with other users on projects, and are encouraged to constructively critique each other’s work.
Our up-to-date online advice and tutorials come from top professionals working in the creative industries – including editors, writers, broadcasters, designers, photographers, programmers, and leadings figures in the fields of performing arts, fashion and arts and crafts. Challenges are set and critiqued by industry figures, employers and brands – giving students unique, real-world experience that can both help with curriculum requirements and boost college, university or job applications. We are also building a database of creative work experience placements specifically for teenagers in the UK.
Access to the constantly updated bank of tutorials and industry news, the creative challenges, and the work experience database, is charged to schools on a quarterly or annual subscription basis. The only equipment needed is computers with internet access.
