TV production company looking for modern languages stars

22 May 2008

Shine Ltd are developing a DCSF-funded TV series for Channel Four, aimed at inspiring more young people to study modern languages at secondary school and beyond.

The series will offer three young people aged 17-21 the opportunity to join a successful band or performer on tour as their ‘fixers.’ They will each be sent to a European city on the tour itinerary to help with the arrangements for the forthcoming gig.

Shine are looking for enthusiastic and motivated A-level and AS students with a reasonable grasp of a European language and a love of music to take part in the programme. The show offers pupils the opportunity to get work experience in a competitive industry, whilst highlighting the importance of a second language as a skill. Filming would take place from the end of their last exam of the summer, in order to minimise the impact on their studies.
