The military has partnered with Never Such Innocence (NSI), a charity focussed on giving children and young people across the world a voice on war and conflict.
At Never Such Innocence we aim to give children and young people across the world a voice on war and conflict. We offer opportunities to reflect on conflict throughout history and today through poetry, art, song and speeches
The charity began as a First World War commemoration project for children and young people. Inspired by this conflict, more than 11,000 young people from 47 different countries, territories and dependencies created poetry, artwork, and songs. From 2019 we are expanding our focus to include Conflict in all forms and throughout history, up to and including the present day. This includes conflicts at community-level such as knife crime and gang violence.
The charity are running a competition for U18s to explore conflict through art, poetry, speech writing and song. Please see link https://www.neversuchinnocence.com/2019-20-competition
