croxteth speaks

Over 6 months dancers, spoken word artists, DJ’s, photographers and film makers worked in Croxteth using inquiry based arts methods to explore young people’s sense of their local community. 12 films were made that share the young people and youth workers views about the changes they wish to see in their spaces and community. These were shown to a panel of people at a sharing event that celebrated young people. This panel were tasked with reflecting and thinking about the questions they now need to ask their team to make change.

9 ORGANISATIONS, 398 YOUNG PEOPLE, 69 ARTS BASED WORKSHOPS, 9 ARTISTS, 3 LOCAL FILM MAKERS, 100% BRILLIANT PEOPLE.
