Outline :  Photographs that capture and represent the working lives of youth workers and the people they work with and represent. We want to tell the wider and unrepresented world of youth work and the value it has in our society.

Mission Statement :  Students will be working with a number of different grassroots and charitable organisations with different Mission statements. We are working together because we all want to support young people to reach their full potential and believe that we need to work together from grass roots to strategic levels, to achieve this through systemic social change.  Videos and photographs should add a visual dimension to the notion that youth workers are empowering themselves and their communities; using their voices, building power with others and making impact.
