Building Bridges Project

Female Voice in Violence Building Bridges Project

Building Bridges is ROTA's youth-led research and policy project into gangs, weapon use and serious youth violence. It began in 2006, and for two years developed a youth-led research study which produced a literature review, evidenced based research report and a DVD. The findings of the study were launched at a youth-led conference: to download a copy of the post conference report please click here.
