Films
Watch a range of films young people in schools participating in the programme have produced
Merseyside Youth Association have worked in partnership with educational media experts Collaborate Digital to help young people make short films as part of the Mentors in Violence Prevention programme.

Empowering Youth Voice: Film Guidance to support Violence Prevention
Since it’s inception, the MVP programme has provided young people with opportunities to create violence prevention films.
We have collated these films into a guidance document to enhance the use of these films, and support parents, carers and professionals to develop conversations with young people around serious violence.
Each film is summarised, age-rated and accompanied with conversation starters and support services to make preventing violence everyone’s business.
