Our Kid: Film-making projects with young people
Nowgen has worked with Cornerhouse and WFA Media and Cultural Centre to create several films for the Our Kid project. Over 20 local teenagers heard from local experts about biomedical research now, and in the future.
The films will be on display as part of the Our Kid Exhibition in various venues across the city.
