London<br />
10.9 Without making specific recommendations concerning London, the unique resources<br />
<strong>and</strong> opportunities existing in the capital for young adult media activity should not be<br />
ignored. The Inner London Education Authority could develop the use by informal youth<br />
groups of the extensive media learning resources available. For Capital Radio there is considerable<br />
scope available to extend its educational broadcasting <strong>and</strong> also (<strong>and</strong> perhaps more<br />
importantly) to experiment further in different forms of structured access for young<br />
people. This might involve mobile studios <strong>and</strong> training facilities which can travel between<br />
schools <strong>and</strong> youth groups, as well as group work in the central studio for a variety of<br />
programmes.<br />
10.10 It might be appropriate, at the initial stages, for an informal conference to be held<br />
where representatives of the ILEA (from its learning resources, youth service <strong>and</strong> community<br />
education branches), the MSC, community organisations like the Albany, the Islington<br />
Bus Company, the Oxford House Settlement <strong>and</strong> the Inter-Action Trust, <strong>and</strong> the wide<br />
range of broadcasting organisations can discuss the range of possibilities open in London.<br />
A variety of activities, on the Merseyside <strong>and</strong> North-East models, as well as the ideas for<br />
action-research suggested by the Oxford House Settlement, could be considered in London.<br />
Perhaps the ILEA <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Gulbenkian</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> could provide a lead in enabling further<br />
discussion to take place.<br />
