Proposal for “Respect”
What?(Problem)- Teenagers and Young adults getting involved in knife crime and not living their lives to their full potential.- Conflict betweens gangs increased because of knife crime.- Families suffering from the death of their innocent children.- Teenager being brought up by cad role models.
Who? (Target audience)-15-24 year old males
Why?-This is the target group is most affected by this issue.- Most of the offenders have so much potential to have a better life.- Young teenagers being victims at such a young age.- Young adults not being able to get a carrier because they have a bad reputation and are involved with the wrong people.
How? (Solution)- I want to tackle knife crime in the UK and try persuade offenders to find a better life.- Interactive projections on estate buildings.- Website that allows people to post their messages to the interactive projection.- App for uploading messages.
Where?- Estate building.- Estate tunnels.- Darker parts of estates.
When?- A year.- At night time.
Desired outcome:-Iʼm hoping that my event gets people involved. I also hope that it makes offenders think about find a better life for themselves.

What? (Problem)-In 12,340 people admitted into hospital in England and Wales in 2008, 446 of whom were no older than 14. (The Independent)
-In a survey done with 4,715 pupils in school and 687 excluded pupils aged 11-16 and were asked “ If they had carried or used a weapon.. like a gun or a knife”. - 28% of children in schools and 57% that were excluded said they have carried a knife in the last year.-9% of school children and 30% of excluded said they carried a flick knife.-3% of school and 14% excluded said they used a knife against a person.( say no 2 knives)
- The persons most likely to be at risk from knife violence are; young, black or Asian males, living in high crime inner city areas. (Insight security)

RESPECT ( What is it?)
-The notion of respect drives gang life almost completely, and for many gang members, gaining respect means committing violent crimes.-"It comes down to respect. They have to know this is our place, our estate." (the mirror)
-Whilst some youths carry knives to make them 'feel big' or to 'earn respect' most young people confess to carrying a knife for protection.
-The older generation talk about respect for elders, and entreat young people to “show some respect!”

PLAYGROUND PITCH PROJECTION
DARKER CORNER OF ESTATE BUILDING
INTERACTIVE PROJECTION, AS THE AUDIENCE WALKS PAST THE PROJECTION BEGINS
My research has showed me that most knife crime offences happen in estate, so I wanted to make the my environment. Also most of these crimes are coming in the cover of darkness and this is when my event will be most active. The projections will be panned up and down the estate blocks making the viewer notice it.
How? (solution)

WebsiteWith the event there will be a ongoing website running. The website is designed so that the viewers can upload their own messages. The most interesting messages will be put on to the buildings. As a reward the best messages will give the person the opportunity to see a live music artist.

Where?
I want to focus my event on Estates because that the area where my target audience is located. On the right you can see this council map which would be on of my target locations. Iʼve highlighted the area in where Iʼve started looking at for my projections. My plan is to one borough everyday.
