Platform 51's Truth About Youth project, funded by The Co-operative Foundation, works with young people in six areas of Cardiff to challenge negative perceptions about young people and break down the barriers they face. The project's team of young carers, Power of the youth, wanted to break down the barriers between themselves and the older generation. So they invited the Deputy Head of Council, Judith Woodman and a group of pensioners to join them for an art workshop. A local artist helped them to work together on a joint piece of art.
