Focus and Turning Points: Giving a Voice to Youth Subscribe

Young people learn how to tell their stories of change and courage through film, music and poetry.

"I learned that there are some people who actually give a shit". Those are the words of one student who took a leap of faith and participated in one of the documentary projects in this dossier.

By turning the microphones and cameras over to young people, Productions Oracle have created Turning Points and Focus, two documentaries that tell the stories of disenfranchised young people and empower them to create music, poetry and film. Watch how the act of telling stories about life, change, courage and success can itself be a life-changing experience.

This podcast was a collaborative youth project to both understand and express some of the issues of gendered violence.

Serve! empowers youth to become caring, confident, and contributing members of their community through experience-based learning.

For 6 months they worked with Tuval Dinner from the White Ribbon Campaign to learn about and express themselves on the important issue of violence against women. The project looked at violence, gender, and healthy relationships.

To capture part of this experience Paul Baines from GlobalAware Independent Media worked with this patient and lively group of young people.

This podcast has several parts: a radio play, statistics about gendered violence, interviews with men and women, and information for guys to take action on self-awareness and anti-violence.
