Active Citizens 2012 is a free course for people who want to make positive change in their community.

This British Council scheme enables diverse people (especially young adults) to explore what it means to grow into active participation in community life, and to develop grassroots social action – and features international travel and learning.

This year we are partnering with Oblong, who are delivering a series of workshops  from the end of January and working with groups on social projects. We are recruiting up to 30 individuals to take part. See flyer for further details.

We and partners Lippy People present the fourth ‘In One City’ film – exploring the beliefs, values and lives of diverse Leeds people. Click here to watch now online or ask us for a copy of the dvd.

Our ‘In One City’ programme has (since 2007) used collaborative film-making to get a wide range of Leeds people to connect, and together explore topical social issues - especially how we can make our increasingly diverse society work well for everyone.

Over the past few months, we’ve worked with 13 fantastic participants (aged 16 to 80+, from across a whole spectrum of society) to each produce their own 3 minute film, exploring how values and beliefs shape social conscience, identity and experience within our communities. The film is themed around Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ quote, that ‘society is a conversation for many voices’.

We aim for this free film resource to be used in different scenarios – faith, youth and community groups, and schools, for instance - to generate wider discussion about the issues raised in the films, and about what kind of city we want. To find out more, please get in touch:hello@t4p.org.uk.
