Latest Raised Voices film - Life is Precious

We are proud to present Arc's fourth annual film from our Barking & Dagenham female empowerment group!

Devised and created by a team of 15 young women aged 10 and over from Barking & Dagenham schools, Raised Voices: Life is Precious will be taken on tour to schools around the Borough this spring/summer, exploring issues such as gender equality and the women's suffrage centenary, youth and weapon crime, sexual abuse (including the 'Me Too' campaign) and Female Genital Mutilation.

 

Raised Voices is funded by Barking & Dagenham MOPAC, and the previous four years of film resources (originally also funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation) can be seen on the dedicated Raised Voices website.

Raised Voices is open to girls aged 11+ and meets every Thursday in term time from 4-6pm at Arc's home at Kingsley Hall, Dagenham. It's free of charge to take part and everyone is welcome to join, regardless of experience or ability! If you enjoy drama, games and making new friends, as well as exploring issues affecting young women today, come along, and bring your friends! Contact Natalie Smith at Arc on 020 8595 8509 for more information!
