The vision
An annual rare disease magazine written for children by children!

Here at Rare Revolution we are passionate about providing a platform where rare disease can find a safe voice in a language that everyone can understand, making it truly accessible. To this end we are pushing the boundaries and leading in information innovation and are teaming up with part of the RareTogether initiative developed by British Paediatrics Surveillance Unit (BPSU) and Birmingham Children's Hospital, Rare Disease Centre to create a very special project.

We are opening up our magazine and letting the children take over once a year to produce an accessible, informative and engaging rare disease publication created specifically for children - by children! Our vision is to create a magazine where children can find information relevant to them, tell their stories in a safe environment, ask questions and take ownership of their RARE stories and experiences.

Our target audience is 8 to 18 years old. With a mix of professional and peer content we will enlist the help of a team of RARE Children to work with us on this special publication. From assistant editor, columnist, blogger, journalist, video content and photographer we want this to be a truly kid centric affair. Our aim is to engage and enlist our child team to help us with content that is relevant to them in the voice that matters - THEIRS!

Liberty is one of my students in Indiana. She is very passionate about her brother and sharing his story. She is a very hard worker and would make an excellent junior editor. I wish I has more students with her passion and work ethic!

My son Oliver is 10 years old, lives in the UK and has a rare gastric disease called eosinophilic enterocolitis as well as esophageal motility disorder. He is a keen writer and would be interested to learn more about this.

Thanks,

Hello Angelica, Great to hear from you. It's super simple for Oliver to apply. All he needs to do is drop me an email to editor@rarerevolutionmagazine.com with a short bio about himself and what role he would like to be considered for.

I.e. blogger/journalist/photographer etc. Or if he would prefer he can do a short video and email or private message via our facebook page.

The deadline is 5th May, after which our team will review all applicants and their skils and assign roles on our Junior Editorial Team.

We look forward to hearing from him.

Nicola
