What you will learn
Join the red-carpet premiere of The Success of Moss Side (an SNE Studios Production, directed by Elmi Ali and produced by Baka Bah) – a brand-new documentary framed through the lens of a young filmmaker.
Moss Side, an inner-city Manchester neighbourhood, is often reduced to external perceptions of crime, violence and poverty. While these challenges exist, such narratives overshadow the vibrant, multifaceted reality cherished by its residents.
Understand what data tells us about poverty in the UK, where to find this data and how to use it to build effective responses to poverty.
Understand our social security system and the financial support available to help people find and access what they're entitled to.
What you'll learn:
The housing crisis isn’t an issue that exists in isolation. People’s experiences of poverty and the lack of decent affordable homes are interlinked, as are the solutions that would improve our housing system and help people thrive.
As communicators, we need to explain these connections, show how solutions can work, and build belief that change is not only necessary, but is actually possible.
