Everyone?

2005

'Everyone?' is a project commissioned by the WCF and realised by CAW. It is an attempt to listen to the needs of children and young people across Warwickshire and to support and represent them.

The focus of this creative consultation has been the socially excluded groups such as people from minority and mixed ethnicities and those coping with disabilities.

CAW have produced an interactive media pack (DVD plus booklet) that can be used to inform and enlighten teachers, youth & community workers, and service providers.
