Equation run a range of projects working with children and young people to promote awareness of domestic abuse and healthy relationships. Young men in Year 9 at Djanogly City Academy have been working on one such project, called Choices, to raise awareness of key issues that they were experiencing. Choices is a creative project that deals with choices and consequences as well as ideas about masculinity, emotions and relationships.
To conclude the project the group got the opportunity to spend a day at Confetti, an institute of creative technologies, in Nottingham City. The group decided they wanted to create an animation to raise awareness of domestic abuse to other young people across the country. Confetti enabled them to use modern technology to create an animated version of the Man Enough video that was released earlier in the year by the Beats and Brains team in Nottingham.
