Say It Do It - Salford, YouthAct

October 15th, 2007 by kirsty | Filed under Courses & Events.

P1070173 Say It, Do It, decided to campaign against the way young people in care are stereotyped as its something they feel passionate about due to experience. This was provoked by the main issues they are challenged by which includes bullying, social exclusion, negative portrayals, lack of privacy and being pre determined and judged because of a file. They believed a possible opportunity to overcome these issues would be to make a film showing the journey of life to convey key messages and get a call to action. Contacting the media to try and change perceptions and attitudes along with providing information to the public was also seen as an opportunity. Time was obviously a barrier, and a huge barrier is the law which would make it very difficult to create change. The actions which the group will take will be to pin point a clear message for the film and begin planning scripts and storyboards. Contacting film producers, the media (for exposure) and meeting with The Children’s Commission will also be actions to follow through so they can get a Call To Action.
