On Monday 25th April 28 people gathered together in Middlesbrough at the MIMA Art centre for a four-day course on improving participatory practice for those working with young people affected by sexual violence. We would like to invite you to join to share an overview of this unique project and the participatory training which took place. You will see an overview of the training highlights, including some footage of young people’s input.
