YOUTH LED FILM
Working in partnership with North Yorkshire Youth, Inspired Youth have co-produced a short film featuring the voices of young people from Selby who have written their own poem “One Conversation” to tackle bullying and raise awareness. Through creative workshops with Liam Powers and Heather McCrorie from North Yorkshire Youth young people devised a spoken word poem. Then in coproduction with Inspired Youth they created scenes and storyboards to visualise scenes and bring their film to life. The film was funded by North Yorkshire Police Fire & Crime Commissioner. It is a powerful example of the power of youth voice.
