Inspiring Young Voices (IYVs) is a Highland charity enabling children and young people with additional support needs/disabilities or who have experienced trauma to take control of their lives by promoting their voices, rights, participation and empowering them to have a greater say in decisions that affect their lives.
This series of testimonies has been produced by the young people from IYV’s Inspire Highland project, a group of young people with diverse experiences and disabilities who come together to speak out, raise awareness and campaign for change.
The testimonies within this storytelling piece showcase the helps and hinders faced by these young people in their advocacy in topics such as, trans-rights, disabilities, and neurodivergence as well as being young people based in the Highlands of Scotland. The storytellers involved behind the scenes of collecting these video and written testimonies have built up long-standing relationships with the young people through their work with Inspiring Young Voices
