#YouthVoiceWeek

For Youth Voice Week, our Choices Swansea young person's service focused on listening to young people and using their experience and views to shape our delivery and design.

We asked young people about schools and education. They say.....

#YouthVoiceWeek

Listening to young people is at the heart of our service delivery and design. We wanted to capture what it’s like for a young person focusing on Identity, Education, Mental Health, Social Media, Communities and Empowerment and Leadership.

Today we focus on Identity & Belonging.

🎥 30 years ago, Trainspotting hit our screens and sparked huge conversations about substance use & culture.

Since then, countless films, TV shows & documentaries have tackled the topic — some powerful, some problematic.

Which portrayal stands out to you, & why?

This document shines a light on the appropriate, and inappropriate use, of certain terms, while providing an insight into their impact and how they can often foster understanding or reinforce stigma.

In collaboration with people with lived and living experience of substance use, we developed a terminology guide, 'Why Language Matters'.

Why Language Matters - Barod

Why does language matter?

The words we use shape the way we think — and the way we treat people. When we choose our words with care, we help create a culture of dignity, inclusion, and hope.
