About the campaign
Cardiff Pride: More Than A Month is a co-created campaign with 26 young people who attended Pride Cymru 2022. We interviewed 21 young people and using their answers, young members of TheSprout’s creative team created the campaign.
The campaign aims to highlight the thoughts, worries, and experiences shared by young people attending Pride Cymru.
What can I expect?
During the week-long campaign, we’ll be posting blogs and social media posts from our exclusive interviews with young people.
