EIGHT youngsters who went to the Olympic Games as part of a Government-backed project will see their adventure played out on the big screen next week.

A 30-minute film featuring the Middlesbrough group, who spent a week reporting on the Olympic Games in Athens, will be screened at the town's UGC Cinema.

It is part of Write on Track, an event organised by the Playing for Success scheme.

Teenagers from Middlesbrough's King's Manor and Hall Garth Schools attended a journalism summer school before trying the real thing at the Olympics. The trip was organised by Creative Partnerships Tees Valley, in conjunction with Playing for Success.
