To mark Relationships and S*x Education (RSE) Day, a short trailer for a new project we have just completed for Derbyshire County Council has been released.
We worked with the Education Improvement Service to create a film which showed how their Derbyshire Fly Project project has helped reduce stigma and offered support around sexual health and relationships for young people through creative arts.
The project has been running over the few months in schools across Derbyshire and it has been great to attend workshops and exhibitions, and meet the artists, staff and students involved. A great project to have been commissioned for. Thanks to everyone who made us feel so welcome. We'll be sure to post the full 10-minute film as soon as we are able to!
