Gavin Weale
Originally a journalist and web editor, Gavin has developed the Live magazine project for Livity over the course of the last decade, overseeing the transformation of a grassroots magazine into a powerful youth engagement and communications channel for thousands of disadvantaged young people in London, UK. The quarterly magazine is produced entirely by young people for young people within the Livity office: a unique environment where teenagers and media professionals work side by side.
Gavin is replicating the Live magazine model in Cape Town.
