Project Description

SACY (School Age Children and Youth) is an extremely effective program in Vancouver high schools run by the Vancouver School Board and Vancouver Coastal Health, that educates about substance use with an aim to empower youth to speak up, get smart, stay safe, and to get support when they need it. For this project the Hello Cool World team collaborated with the SACY coordinator and several facilitators, to bring together diverse high school students from all over Vancouver. The goal was to make an up-to-date conversation starter, that feels real and that is clearly about Vancouver. This was done to fill a need for materials that reflected local youth's concerns and contained their voices. For this reason we named the video "Share your Voice."
