The idea behind shooting for the stars was to visit primary schools and photograph children using props to “shoot for the stars” and visualise a future without gun violence.

In 2018 and 2019, Gun Free South Africa and the Bigger Than Life team hosted a sports day for the youth of Alex.

A partnership with the Children’s Radio Foundation saw teenagers from Alexandra crowd into a radio studio every week to play hip-hop and discuss local gun crime on community radio. Their work has been documented by The Guardian.
