Meeting The Year Dot Fifteen – The Year Begins
This is the first chance to meet the 15 about to start on their year long journey. Year Dot is a groundbreaking project from Channel 4 which follows a group of fifteen young people as they go through what they hope will be their life-changing year.
Fifteen lives, fifteen big years. A few dreamers, some trying to make a bit of a difference, a few dealing with some pretty big stuff, others just trying to keep everything together. Be the first to get a look at them on MySpace www.myspace.com/yeardot or the official Year Dot website www.yeardot.co.uk. You can contact the 15 through their own MySpace pages too.
We'll be with them every step of the way… highs and lows, successes and frustrations. They'll be continuously updating their stories through blogs, messages and videos, inviting people to give them advice and support and to share their own experiences.
Will they get where they want to be? That’s partly down to you.
