In our seventh episode, Aimee speaks with game changer, poet, storyteller, and playwright Nandi Jola who founded the nandijproject with help from National Lottery funding to empower young people from marginalised backgrounds to tell their stories and help women forced into trafficking and exploitation.

“To change the game, you constantly have to be the thing that you want to see”

In this episode we hear from poet, storyteller, and playwright Nandi Jola, a Game Changer providing workshops, theatre, and poetry to encourage women and young people that their stories matter after starting with a vision to help women forced into trafficking and exploitation.

We also hear from Ferdi from Ouchhh Studio who pioneered an incredible AI projection which used data painting from the brainwaves of Nandi and our six other Arts and Film Game Changers, as the basis of a UK-first projection onto the outside of the V&A in London as part of The National Lottery’s 30th birthday celebrations.

National Lottery players raise more than £30 million a week for good causes including vital funding into arts projects.
