IN PRODUCTION
CYT have launched 2021 with an ongoing series of online videos, placing young voices at the centre of the discourse on the world around us. Each original instalment of ‘It Hasn’t Gone Away You Know’ is developed and produced by CYT members remotely, under the guidance of the leaders. Episodes are currently being released regularly on CYT’s social media and YouTube channel. This follows their highly successful #YoungVoices series last year, which was a creative and personal response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
