Working with digital works a group of young people who have been homeless in Weymouth & Portland have committed their experiences to film.

Young people dramatise their experience of homelessness. Too many people don’t realise that youth homeless exists, or think we have chosen to leave home, when the reality isn’t that clear-cut. A lot of people assume that only adults can be homeless, and that everyone on the streets has a drug or drink problem.

They wish to give other young people something to think about before leaving home. Along with some pointers to where they can get help.

digital-works was part of an exciting project in the London Borough of Camden this summer. A group of children produced short films exploring the concepts of change and sustainability, linked directly to their own living environment (Camden), with the help of experts in the fields of environmental science, art interpretation and film-making.

Participants developed their understanding of the impact of climate change on their local environment using film as a vehicle to communicate their ideas and extending their visual and verbal literacy skills’ through interpretation, script writing and film-making.

Spirit is a year long arts based project working in the London Borough of Camden with young people with learning difficulties and young carers. We are making a film documentary of the process to include interviews with the participants, artists and organisers.
