EU Smokefree Youth Network 2.0

EU Smokefree Youth Network 1.0

Previously in 2016 we designed, led, managed and delivered an international EU Smokefree Youth Network project as part of the Cut Films Project. This project was composed of two parts: part 1 was a Youth Exchange in London where young people took part in demonstrations against British American Tobacco, presented to young people from around the country, interviewed MPs, created short films gaining filmmaking skills (storyboarding, scripting, camera, editing) and photography skills. Part 2 took place in Slovenia where young people furthered their filmmaking skills while gaining skills in debating and presenting. The project was done in collaboration with Smart Youth in Sweden and No Excuse in Slovenia.
