Following months of planning, the 3-days simply shot by with more than 50 hours of brilliant programmes and some memorable live performances, including a set from singer, song writer and stage performer, Rachel Brett.
If you were involved as part of this fantastic project that once again was recognised with a ‘High Impact’ award as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week – our third - then we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. If you were not involved this year please contact Tim Sorensen who will be happy to discuss EYR 2012 with you.
The many hundreds of EYR students will have gained all sorts of personal and employability skills during their involvement together with a lifetime memory. We hope that you managed to catch sight of the 8-page supplement that was published in the Eastbourne Herald on 11th November and subsequent articles?
You will not be surprised to learn that the file for EYR 2012 (14th -16th November) is open and that we are already taking school and sponsor bookings.

Tim Sorensen received an email from Alex Harris this November, just prior to the 11th annual broadcast of Eastbourne Youth Radio, highlighting the value of giving such experience to students. "When I was fifteen I took part in Eastbourne Youth Radio with Willingdon Community School (I think I did some awful report on the sporting decade!). I am now twenty-three and have just been offered a job with CBeebies Radio at Salford Quays, which I am delighted about! Having worked at The Observatory Science Centre for a number of years they gave me your details (I think they are supporting a school that is taking part), so that I could say thank you to you for organising something that sparked my passion for radio. EYR was my first radio experience and it sparked a passion that saw me take part in uni and hospital radio before landing me a job with the BBC. None of this may have happened without EYR so thank you very much! Hopefully EYR will inspire many more people in the future. I wish you all the best for this years EYR - I would love to be involved in the future." If you know of someone whose passion for their career was ignited by a project organised by Eastbourne Education and Business Partnership, please get in touch!
