New video resource out now
A short film has been produced, alongside drama and discussion activities, to raise awareness about bullying, prejudicial language and county lines drugs gangs.
The part-animated video, features four of Blue Apple’s actors who all have learning disabilities, as well as real-life police officers. The workshop includes drama and discussion activities, co-facilitated by members of Blue Apple Theatre.
Free educational resources are available to accompany the video.
The full video is available to watch via Vimeo (see below). We also have free CD copies available. Just send us an email with a contact name and address to request one or more.
The project was developed with the Hampshire Police Crime Commissioner and Hampshire County Council.

Comments
“I would absolutely recommend this resource from Blue Apple. Seeing learners immerse themselves in the workshops whole heartedly was a real positive. Their increased level of understanding of disability hate crime informed a highly constructive discussion in class, which will contribute to being able to apply their learning relating to our course specification.”

“The work of the Blue Apple actors and all those behind the scenes have ensured the viewer understands the complexities and dynamics within the story, it clearly shows the impact on the victim and how this reaches across the network of those that care for vulnerable people.”

“It’s both powerful and moving. I do hope it gets a good viewing both here and further afield than Hampshire – it deserves it. As usual the actors come across so strongly.”

“….that astonishing and moving video. It has that ‘spare' quality I so admire, with an economy of words that somehow increases the overall impact. It is powerful stuff. Well done them,…… “
