Summary
To break down the media hysteria that surrounds the youth of today, and remove stereotypes surrounding them in local communities.
The concept would purely involve giving a handful of youths, from a variety of backgrounds, a camera each for a day. They would take shots of their everyday life, hopefully providing images of a stark contrast to those constantly reported by the media, some iconic, others striking. It may also highlight the social difficulties some face. The results would be housed on display in a local art gallery. The camera thus becomes a tool of power for the youth, and can give them the voice that some political movements have often wished they had.

What a fantastic idea - and what an opportunity to see the world through the eyes of youth themselves and not others trying to 'tell it like it is'! Good luck - I am looking forward to seeing the results.

Good luck with this, it's about time someone dissolved the preconceptions that people have had about the youth of Britain, especially in certain social circles.
