Big Issue in the North

Following Emily's successful entry into the Big Issue photo competition with 'Lost' featuring Natalie, the Big Issue decided to run a two page feature covering the project and campaign!

"The Big Issue in the North is the fifth best-selling entertainment and current affairs title in the UK. It is sold in over 120 towns and cities across the north from Stoke to North Yorkshire."

Brilliant News!

As press and media coverage gathers pace we welcomed Richard White from BBC Radio York to the Launch Night. The crew took him through the process of the project and spoke about how their experiences can help others.

Broadcast details to follow.

Launch Night...! Live and Direct!

After weeks of preparation and behind the scenes efforts Behind No Doors was ready to rush into the public eye!

Attended by a great mixture of workers, service users, young people, families, stakeholders, elected members and the Mayor the event was a huge success.

The BND crew displayed their canvasses, prints and posters along with formal information stands from the Howztalk Service. The centre piece of the exhibition hall was the Behind No Doors 'surfed-sofa' designed by Jim Cereal with help from the crew. The surfed-sofa, which featured in the film is adorned with stencils from the original canvass designs and was decorated with strewn newspaper articles featuring coverage of the project.

Next on the showlist it was into the auditorium for a presentation of V50 volunteering certificates and a Mayor's badge to each of the young people by the Mayor himself. Following this, the main event, the premiere screening of the film.

The film was excellently received and immediately sparked debate amongst the audience with the crew fielding questions about their experiences and the potential of their work. Commitments were made by stakeholders for taking the young people's work further in order to maximise the impact.

Inspired Youth firmly believe that the event should be a launchpad; rather than it being considered the end of a project it should be the start of a campaign. Here is where it begins...

We'd like to thank all our artists:

Jim Poyner : Photography
Jim Cereal otp : Stencil Arts
Snowglobe Creative : Design
Nic Hobson : Performance Arts

We also like to thank all the people who made it happen on the night and those who supported and believed in the project from start to launch (you know who you are...)

We'd like to thank Judy Field for having the vision to commission a project of this nature and for believing in the Inspired Youth philosophy!

Finally to the young people who have lit up the debate with passion, integrity and pure talent. This is yours. Fly with it.

Peace

CJ
