- the one-stop-shop for information for young people, youth professionals and laymen alike! The aim of this site is to offer those on either side of the border an information point that covers youth provision and information of interest to young people in the North-West region. This site has been designed and constructed by participants of the Bytes Cross Border Project. Within these digital walls you will find information and links to a range of information - from where to go for a good knees-up, to where to source training providers in your area - it's all here! |

| Border Bytes is the combined effort of groups of young people - some of which are based at Derry Bytes and some based at various centres in Inishowen, Co. Donegal, who are currently working on The Bytes Cross Border Project - an Information and Communications Technology based initiative. |

Duration: September 2006 - July 2008 Project Aims: The project aims to ensure all young people involved gain new creative ICT skills in digital technologies, such as Internet Authoring to enable them to update a web site containing information on youth provision and facilities in Derry and Inishowen in Donegal. It also aims to ensure the young people gain new skills in desktop publishing to enable them to produce a newsletter containing information of interest to young people 16 – 25 in both areas. Digital music will also be a major component! The project will challenge and dispel preconceived ideas and misconceptions about “other communities”, flags & symbols, stereotyping and will promote community relations principles of Equity, Diversity & Interdependence throughout. Two Murals will be designed and created by the young people (with help from local artists) depicting images of the young people’s ideas on cross border co-operation. This project will be of benefit to local community and youth organisations as ‘users’ of the Bytes centre and local community groups can use the web site as a information point. The young people involved will also gain elements of CCEA occupational studies accreditation in digital media. To promote cross border cooperation between young people form both sides of the religious & border divides. Outcomes: (1) Elements of CCEA Occupational Studies accreditation in Digital Media
