"Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand." - First Nations Proverb

"small voice" phrase meaning: an inner voice that judges your behaviour; conscience

The Calderdale Youth Offending Team believes in working with the arts.
The "Small Voices" Exhibition is the result of that belief. Using traditional and digital techniques, young people are encouraged to tell their stories in their own way. They might write a story or poem, create a picture or photograph, or tell a digital story combining media to produce a short film.
All of the works displayed in this exhibition were created by young people involved with the team. Young people who are striving to improve themselves and repair some of the damage their behaviour has caused.

Why do we believe in using the Arts to work with young people?
