Policy outputs

Visualising peace is built from policy briefs produced by UNM in phase two of the MAP programme. Three key policy areas around mental health in young people have been identified from this phase:

• Mental Health Support in Schools: Helping schools understand how mental health can impact academic performance and behaviour
• Mental Health in Families: Raising awareness about how conflict in families impacts young people, the lack of social support and resources available and
  how it impacts mental health.
• Street Connected/The Burden Kids Carry: Sharing the message that nobody chooses to be in vulnerable situations such as this and that everyone should be treated equally.

This project will utilise film as a co-produced creative process, engaging young people from the Kwetu Film Institute to produce a film for each of these areas. These will then be shown at a symposium run in collaboration with the policy organisation Never Again Rwanda, inviting grassroots organisations and policymakers to discuss and propose policy actions. We will also produce a policy report ​reviewing the outcomes for future reference.
