Aimhigher, Perceptions

A year-long project touring Devon and the South-East to work with misrepresented young people and lower socio-economic groups culminating in an interactive and immersive exhibition in a central space in Barnstable, North Devon. The theme of ‘perceptions’ was used to help groups to identify how they are seen and their truths. The aim of this multi-faceted project was to help to ‘reframe’ groups who are seen negatively by their communities and to enable participants to re-view themselves in a positive way and to celebrate their skills, talents and achievements.

This project was one of a number of programmes designed and produced by Claire MacNeill whilst acting as a project manager for Aimhigher, Peninsula Programme. Perceptions engaged hundreds of young people and members of their community.
