As every year, Alpha1 Germany had come up with a varied program for the teenagers at the event in 2019.<\/p>\n

The event kicked off on Friday with guests from PR and video agencies, who gave the young people insights into the media industry. Denis Wolff from Neodoc led the early evening session, and together with Patrick Straub from convergo, he introduced the participants to topics from the world of YouTube, Instagram, and similar platforms. Since professional videos with Alpha-1 patients were being filmed during the information day, there was also an opportunity to speak with the camera crew and examine a professional camera up close. At just under \u20ac12,000, the camera was a real bargain.<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning, there was a small, interactive workshop with the Alpha Teens. They were offered a choice of different media areas, each with a small task. These ranged from writing for the internet and producing short videos to creating their own podcast. However, all the young people unanimously chose a different group: the photography group. The reason given for this clear choice was Instagram. Almost all of the young people regularly use the online service to share photos and videos. So, armed with their mobile phone cameras, all the participants set off in search of photo opportunities. Beforehand, the young people were given some tips and tricks for photography. The results of the photos are impressive. One group, for example, created step-by-step instructions for breathing exercises \u2013 the photos could hardly have been bettered by a professional!<\/p>\n

Saturday was rounded off after a delicious lunch buffet with a round of neon golf. This involves playing mini-golf in a blacklight hall, creating fantastic 3D effects thanks to special glasses.
\nThe two days in G\u00f6ttingen showed that the Alpha Teens have a lot of creativity and are already very confident in using modern media such as Facebook, Instagram and Co.
\nPersonally, I would like to thank Alpha1 Germany for the opportunity to spend these two days together with the young people. And of course, many thanks to the dedicated young participants.<\/p>\n
