The Newtownhamilton team in the 2022 ABP Angus Youth Challenge got together as a group with other finalists for the first time recently, to attend a live workshop on how to use social media. Cool FM / Downtown Radio presenters Rebecca McKinney and Caroline Fleck shared the secrets of their success with the teenagers who are all working on year-long assignments on sustainable beef production as part of reaching the final stage in the 2022 ABP Angus Youth Challenge.
As well as being a co-presenter of Cool FM’s breakfast show, Rebecca is also a successful fashion stylist and Instagram influencer. Caroline Fleck hosts her own show on Downtown Radio.
The pupils were able to find out how Caroline and Rebecca create and manage good quality media content to have impact and create engagement with their audiences. They also got to create their own piece of video content with help and feedback from the trainers.
The event, which was hosted by CAFRE Loughry Campus. The participating schools in the 2022 ABP Angus Youth finalist programme are Newtownhamilton High School; Banbridge Academy Cookstown High x 2 teams; St Catherine’s College Armagh; Dalriada School; Friends’ Lisburn, and St Kevin’s Lisnaskea. Each team is currently rearing their own mini herd of Angus cross calves through to finishing as well as working on assignments that support sustainable beef production in Northern Ireland.
