New
Healthy Choices website launched
 |
The
anti-knife crime project was part of
a programme encouraging young people
to make healthier and safer choices.
It provided an opportunity for young
people to reflect on the issue after
initial research. They then created
a presentation which informed a story
about knife crime. The final part of
the process involved creating an animation
using stop motion techniques. They
then spoke to camera to share their
thoughts. |
