I Am Greater Campaign to Reduce the Effects of Violence in Greater Manchester
“Violence isn’t me… I am greater” is a new campaign to reduce the effects of violence on 10–17 year-olds in GM.
The anti-violence campaign was created by young people from ten youth clubs across Greater Manchester. They were asked to think about what’s important to them in life – their values and aspirations.
The campaign shows why young people are greater than violence with the key message “violence isn’t me… I am greater”. Young people have shared their stories in a series of powerful videos, including individuals who have personally experienced the impact of serious violence.
Violence comes in many forms. From carrying or using a knife to bullying, physical fighting or online abuse – all forms of violence can have devastating consequences.
Spend some time watching the campaign videos and explore activities to do in your local area to help you achieve your future.
