BBC Outlook Clubs | ||||||||||||||||||||
The concept of the Outlook Clubs wasn't the BBC's idea at all. It came totally from the listeners themselves. Peter Sageh, a keen Outlook listener from Eldoret, Kenya got in touch to say that he and a group of friends had formed what they called the "BBC Outlook Club." They got together once a week - or more - to listen to the programme together, discuss items they had heard and chat about how they could go out and make their own listener-reports, similar to those they heard on the programme. "We broadcast some of the reports that Peter's group had made," says Outlook producer Rebecca Myatt. "And lo and behold, other listeners from completely different places around the world got in touch too, to say that they too wanted to set up an Outlook Club in their neighbourhood." While the production team are flattered by this interest and commitment to the programme, it is important to stress that they are not BBC initiatives. We do not give instructions as to how they can be set up. There is no money available to support them. While the programme may get in touch with clubs and promote their work, this is because we are encouraging listener contributions in general - and will highlight the work of listener clubs alongside that of individual listeners.
