YOUTH VOICE

Voices on Paper

Creative expression, identity and youth voice

A busy craft session in a bright room: a dozen young people and facilitators at a long table strewn with paints, pens and finished artwork on small easels.

What it is

Young people have things to say.

Voices on Paper gives them the tools, the prompts and the room to say them — then treats the result as work worth showing. Sessions run around five themes: My Story, My Identity, My Future, My Voice and My Creativity.

What we're working on together

  • Self-expression
  • Identity
  • Confidence
  • Creativity
  • Youth voice

These are the areas sessions are built around. We report on what we observe and what participants tell us, not on outcomes we cannot evidence.

Six finished paintings laid out on a table: butterflies, flowers and abstract patterns in bright colours.
