Youth Media Takeover is a creative initiative by DD8 Music, originally piloted with support from Planet Youth and now funded by the Amazon Regional Creatives Fund. The project empowers local young people to take control of the media narrative - they plan, produce, and present their own content across a variety of formats, including podcasts and video series.

Youth Media Takeover provides a dynamic, youth-led platform for media creation, helping participants build confidence, technical skills, and a voice in their community.
