“Crossing Borders”:
Giving voice to disenfranchised communities
Gary Copitch
Gary Copitch and People’s Voice Media have taken citizens
learning to new heights in the work he initiated and pioneered,
by giving a real voice to disenfranchised communities.
People’s Voice Media works in deprived areas across the
UK with the aim to empower local communities through the
use of social media technology. The Advisory Board was impressed how People’s Voice Media works in partnerships with
the BBC, further and higher education institutions, the third
sector and public sector to develop a network of community
reporters and social media centers. People’s Voice Media actively encourages members of socially excluded communities
to gain new skills and have a voice by taking part in their
community reporters training programs. Individuals who participate in the program are taught to use social media technology and are sent for training with the BBC: The community
reporters program is about empowering people to support
dialogue between agencies and communities and to have a
voice so that their perspectives can be heard.

above and beyond the actual award. Because for him the effort made for knowledge and education is not only the key to
soving current problems in Europe, but also to how we want
to live in the future. He identifies with the goals of the “Leonardo – European Corporate Learning Award”. He is happy that
his educational vision is honored. And he is just as happy for
anticipated future award winners and additional educational
initiatives that will advance his initiatives and ideas.
