What work have we done in this area?

Inspiring Choices commissioned Inspired Youth to create a film with young Travellers. The film titled Human – The Voice of Young Travellers was shaped, written, featured, and narrated by young Travellers. The aim was to change the narrative through lived experience and to explore the challenges, the stigma and the discrimination faced by young Travellers. In February 2022, it was premiered at the Everyman Cinema in York.
