Brighton LifeSwap
Life Swap is a Brighton and Hove City Council project to help create a better understanding of life for hard to reach young people. A group of five young people from across the city and five councillors and senior officers have taken the photos on this site using mobile phone cameras, supplied by O2. On Tuesday 12th December 2006 they took a photo and posted it to this site to show each other what an ordinary day is like. They swapped their life experiences. WE WANT YOUR COMMENTS.
