Innovative film making project
OFFENDERS, ex-offenders and their families are being encouraged to
team up with the council's adult learning services to embark on a
film making project about "being an offender in Shetland".
The Voice project aims to improve the communications skills of those
caught up in the criminal justice system, in a bid to strengthen
their learning and employment opportunities.
Last year a group of unemployed adults made a film 'Mental'. This
led to positive changes for participants, most moving into
employment, volunteering or further learning.
The Voice project has been made possible through close partnership
work with the Criminal Justice Service, Shetland College, Careers
and Burnt Candle Productions.
People interested in getting
involved should |

learning centre, at the Hillhead, on 01595 743 888.
