As part of Headliners Foyle's summer programme young people explored the subject of racism in the Northwest through the medium of radio.
They completed three radio packages on this issue featuring interviews and vox-pops with people from ethnic minorities who are living and working in the Northwest. The programmes also feature comments from people who work closely with ethnic minority communities and vox-pops from young people.
Please listen.
