As an example one member produced a film about her experiences of age discrimination in the health service. The film has gone on to be used by various national organisations, e.g. Help the Aged, as part of Discrimination Law campaigning… This project would not have been possible if it was not for the expertise and support of the Breaking Barriers team.

About Training

Great Tutor, made the course fun but educational. K.B Crafts for Everyone

I produced my story which was an excellent personal exercise to review my background, I also used it as to showcase my year as a volunteer and I email the link to my grandparents in Mozambique whom haven’t seen me since 1996 and thanks to it they got to know how I am, what I am doing in Wales and it just made us feel closer. M.C BME Young People Inclusion Officer

…it was a turning point in life for me as regards to storytelling. After completing the course I was confident that I was able to tell stories. A.D Pembrokeshire Paths
