Projects
At Raised Voices, we believe everyone has a story worth telling and a safe and accurate platform on which to tell it. We build projects with communities, not for them. Our projects cover two areas:
1. Empowering people to tell their own stories by working with groups to record and share their histories, memories, opinions and ideas through community journalism and oral history.
2. Combating misinformation and disinformation in the media and beyond through projects that work closely with people with lived experience and the organisations that support them.
If you would like to find out more or discuss partnering with us, please get in touch.
Reporting on asylum seekers, refugees and migration in Northern Ireland: Guidelines for the Media
Raised Voices CIC compiled guidelines for the media around reporting on asylum seekers, refugees and migration in Northern Ireland.
Created with members of ethnic minority, asylum seeking and refugee communities, and the organisations that support them, the toolkit for journalists was funded by Community Foundation for Northern Ireland's Equity in Action fund.
'Our Garden' oral history project
We are working with Bentinck Street Community Garden in Birkenhead, Merseyside, to collect, share and archive the stories of the people who have helped transform a forgotten space into a place of connection, healing and opportunity - and are continuing to work and spend time there today.
We are carrying out interviews with volunteers, local people and staff at Grow Wellbeing CIC, which manages the garden, to capture what makes it so special to them.
