🎖️ Remembrance tribute by Notts young people 🎖️

Youth Remembrance Tribute

A beautiful visual display was created by a group of young people from our Youth Service Link Club West based in Mansfield, in conjunction with Urban Projections and Inspire Youth Arts.

The group discussed what Remembrance Day meant to them and how they could show respect for the people and animals involved, before choosing suitable visuals and music for the piece.

🎥 The projection was displayed for two hours on 11 November at Myplace – Westfield Folkhouse Young People’s Centre. Watch a clip of the projection on our Facebook page.
