Mindset Revolution
#mindsetrevolution Strengthening Youth Voice on Youth Mental Health
This process belongs to } OpenSpaces {
We are a group of young people who are empowering youth voice to better mental health services and policies for 16-25-year olds.
Mindset Revolution is about young people creating their own spaces of participation, where they can build a collective voice that can be heard loud and clear by mental health services and policymakers. We are combining arts-based methods like Legislative Theatre* and a digital participation process to test a new approach to youth participation.
Young people are evaluating the whole project to see how it all works! Watch this space and help us shake things up!
Mindset Revolution is funded by UKRI/ RSA. The partnership is led by the University of Birmingham (Sonia Bussu) and includes: Manchester Metropolitan University (James Duggan, Zarah Eve), Youth Focus North West, Katy Rubin, Platoniq, 42nd Street, GM-i Thrive. Leading the whole process young people from Greater Manchester: Ali Coleman, Bolu Onalaja, Charlie, Chimwemwe, Dan, Juliet, Lee, Linton, Mahdiyyah, MJ, Oscar, Prateek, Saira, Ummay, Zainab, Zara.
* In Legislative Theatre a group of people act out their own experience of structural oppressions and discrimination. Working with an audience of "spect-actors" and policymakers they challenge existing rules and create new policies that respond better to their needs.
