About Year Dot

Year Dot

Year Dot.

Think back to that first defining year in your life, when you started to make the important decisions that helped shape who you are today.

Year Dot is a groundbreaking cross-platform project from Channel 4 that gives an insight into that very journey. This BAFTA-nominated and BIMA award-winning project, played out online and on Channel 4, followed a group of fifteen young people going through what they hoped would be their life-changing year.

Through blogs, video diaries and films, Year Dot gave us first-hand access into what proved to be a monumental year. Watch back over their videos and find out how they got on...

Get Resources

The Year Dot 15 have had a life-changing year. Their stories make great teaching resources, covering a range of curriculum subjects.

You can browse all the videos by subject, import clips to interactive whiteboards or download the Year Dot podcasts from the website.
