The Connecting Voices Together team delivered another meaningful showcase this time visiting Gwent Police during Interfaith Week.
During our visit:
We met with the Gwent Police team and had a tour of headquarters
we shared insights from the Connecting Voices book
Narrated an activist story and the impact of authority brutality that has long lasting effects and shared the story of J. Begum and her challenges she encountered
Staff took part in activities, exploring photos, reflecting on prompts
We rounded off by answering questions together, sharing examples and understanding through open discussion
A huge thank you to Lesley and the team at Gwent Police for having us, engaging so openly and giving us the space to connect through lived experience and storytelling.
Once again this would not be possible without the original contributions from our storytellers from the Connecting Voices project which demonstrates the ripple effect of outcomes. When voices are listened to, they become central in shaping understanding and ongoing and long lasting impact.
Connecting Voices Together – continuing to build empathy, awareness and connection, one voice at a time.
