The project represents the culmination of a unique creative project spearheaded by the University of Bristol in collaboration with local schools and youth organisations.Inspired by
, a global initiative that raises awareness of gender-based violence, this is the first time the concept has been adapted to address serious youth violence in the UK.Organisers hope it will spark conversations and shift perceptions away from criminality and towards understanding and support.The project also invites community members to respond by contributing to a "community manifesto" that will be shared with Bristol City Council and other partners to inform future youth violence prevention strategies.
Participating organisations include Barnardo's, Empire Fighting Chance, Youth Moves, and City of Bristol College.Duncan Stanway, assistant director at Barnardo's, said: "It is important that we listen to what young people who are affected by violence say about their lives.
"We see too many young people who are seriously harmed through exploitation and violence."
The initiative is part of a broader citywide effort, led by the Bristol City Office, to address serious youth violence through collaboration between community groups, academics, police, and public health bodies.25 May-8 June
