Children Can Change the Law

 
Liz Johnson-Idlan from Somerset Racial Equality Council, working on The Racial Inclusion Project, talks about how their work has helped a group of children who were not in schools in Somerset. The children wanted to make a film about growing up in Somerset, about their experiences as an ethnic minority. The young people took this film to an international conference in Ghana and shocked professionals with their stories. At the same time , these children learnt about the troubles the fisherman in Ghana were having,  then made a radio programme about this which went on air in Ghana, and from this programme it raised questions in Ghanian parliament.
These children helped to change the law. Here’s the whole story.
