Projects with Young People
Over the years we’ve worked with many groups of young people to develop short films about their experiences, used drama, role play and documentary styles to look at complex issues or consulted with them using video over changes to their environment and education. Video helps to:
Express opinions and ideas
Make voices heard
As a consultation tool
Encourage participation and raise confidence through projects with YP
