EY Outreach – A Creative Reach Beyond Limits
Expiration: September 1, 2023The United States is hugely influential upon the UK through its cultural exports such as music, film, fashion, cuisine, and technology. There are many similarities between the young people from both countries that have increased in recent years by the growing influence and accessibility of social media platforms.
This program aims to explore the universal themes derived from socio-economic and cultural issues affecting young people through their lived experiences, and perceptions, of the Police. This will include subjects such as crime, anti-social behavior, and victimhood. It will seek to view these emotive subjects through both positive and negative experiences.
The program is a joint venture by the US Embassy, West Midlands Police and EY Outreach that will use coaching, shared learning, and lived experiences to transform the lives of young people in Birmingham, and help build a stronger relationship between the community and police. This will be achieved through a culturally competent platform in which open, transparent and transformative dialogue can be encouraged and supported. Using methods of experiential learning and coaching proven by EY Outreach, we will support the most at-risk young people through a journey that provides criminal intervention, mental health support, personal development, and employability-readiness.
This includes a ten-week program utilizing interactive creative arts tools to engage participants in creating their own video tool kit that raises awareness of societal and human rights issues. This will provide a transferrable and informative learning experience that aimed at generating transatlantic dialogue and cultural exchange between young people.

Expiration: January 1, 2020Our research into inflammatory arthritis is made possible by the donation of tissue from patients. Using an ultrasound guided needle, tissue samples are removed and used for our research. We plan to use this grant to purchase a portable ultrasound so that participants can attempt to carry out a simulated version of this procedure where they take a ‘biopsy’ of a grape hidden in a block of tofu. This activity will be part of a cluster of activities that illustrate inflammatory arthritis and our research some of which we already use, e.g. joint models and gloves which simulate having hand arthritis and some which will be developed to complement the biopsy activity.
