This group of young women was united by their passion to make their public spaces safer for the whole community of Stratford (London). They were fed-up with having to avoid particular places because of the fear of experiencing violence, harassment and unwanted attention. Others had experienced the same behavior's in their neighborhoods and on their way to school. Designed by young people, Pop Path creates joyful murals and informative campaigns that bring a sense of community. It also equips members of the community with the information and practical tools to deal with the negative impact of harassment.

Like a Person LGBTQ+ Film
LGBTQ+ youth create a short film illustrating allyship—support in scenarios of discrimination, showcasing what genuine support means to them.
Add to favourites
Made in 2020, 'Like A Person' is a short film, which was created by the LGBTQ+ young people of the Swindon-based Out of the Can youth project. This educational film captures the young people’s experiences in school and at home of allyship from those around them (e.g., teachers, parents, fellow pupils) and the huge difference that this makes in letting them be themselves and thrive. Examples include not misgendering a young person (using their chosen name and pronouns) and setting a positive example by standing up for a young person who was being bullied.

The Pink Paint Project
Young people helped to raise awareness of mental health services, promoting them using handmade pink-themed messages prominently displayed locally (in shops).
Add to favourites
A National Citizen Service cohort of young people developed The Pink Paint Project, as they were keen to spread positive spirits in their local community and raise awareness about where people can find help for mental health issues as many young people struggle with this. They painted canvases and added the Samaritans helpline number onto them, before hanging them up in shops and community centres around Chesterfield (UK). They did a bake sale, making £268 for the Samaritans while raising the Samaritans’ profile. They chose the colour Baker-Miller Pink because it is shown to temporarily reduce aggressive behaviour.

Project 13 – Academic Anxiety Amongst Teens
An inspiring social action project taking a creative deep dive into academic anxiety.
Add to favourites
In Project 13, students initially narrowed down their choice of topic to ‘academic anxiety’. Each student designed their own contributions with guidance and assistance from adults and peers to create a classroom maze, which was representative of navigating the teenage years. Titled “The Maze of Emotions," it was constructed of PVC pipe and connectors and then filled with writing and art (later exhibited). Related learning and passions were also showcased onstage and/or in the classroom. Read the full article for useful insights into the steps in the development of this project.
