Wednesdays:
Is a discussion based forum, where young people understand as individuals they are citizens of the world, discussing topics that relate to their own personal experiences encompassing the themes of community, culture and diversity. The forum is designed to be used as a platform where young people can discuss, explore and thrive using dialogue to develop the self through learning from others.
Fridays:
