Toxteth TV’s charitable arm, Splendid Things has been funded by The Home Office CAGGK (Communities Against Guns, Gangs and Knives) to run a film making and peer mentoring project with young women.
Partnering with Turn It Around CIC and Liverpool Youth Service the project aims to engage hard to reach young women through ‘on the streets’ outreach, work with them to confront issues associated with gang culture and make a film that reflects their experiences opinions and knowledge.
The film will be screened at FACT in January 2012 and then the group of filmmakers will tour it, alongside an issue based workshop they will create and deliver, around local schools.
Turn It Around staff and mentors will be on hand to support all the young women involved in the project through any issues that arise and will be able to offer ongoing inclusion activities.
Watch this space for the film too…
