This exhibition is about how individuals perceive themselves and how society perceives young people. In addition the group have learnt not to judge others only by their appearance and that "Beauty is self acceptance". The young people hope as part of the exhibition, people viewing the photographs will try to think about who the people in these pictures are, and not make conclusions about who people really are based only on how we look. Within the context of the National Smoking Reduction Strategy the Peer Education Project has been supported by Quality of Life funding to develop peer-led smoking initiatives in Dundee. As part of this work the project works with young people aged 13-18 to explore health improvements through creative arts. Young people have been trained in film, photography and creative writing skills, developing their confidence and self-determination through their own creativity and personal exploration. This exhibition is a culmination of this work, furthermore an opportunity for the young people's work to be showcased and celebrated. text/html 2008-10-12T23:00:00+01:00 /events/ Dundee City Box Office http://www.dundeecity.gov.uk/events/event.php?id=1281 Mill Lavvies - After 10 years the boys are back in town. text/html 2008-10-12T23:00:00+01:00 /events/ Ancrum Outdoor Education Centre http://www.dundeecity.gov.uk/events/event.php?id=718 After completion of the training course this course will assess your competence to lead groups in British mountains.
