🖋🔥To Write Our Wrongs🔥🖋 (International Youth Day Event)

 👧 International Youth Day 2025 👦
🖋🔥To Write Our Wrongs🔥🖋

Stand at attention, ye fresh hot-blooded youths!

Upon the promised day of the international youth is an inspired event that seeks to provide a space for one’s own story-telling. Should we be granted an audience in the form of your presence, the potential boons of the following will belong to thee:

- A space to unwind and connect with yourself through writing
- Support of special Facilitators from the UN Youth Australia to inspire your career’s compass
- A group of youthful lads and lasses to share your journeys with, at your will
- Notebooks, pens and pencils of varied colours will be bestowed upon all who enter
- A trial! Whomst ever is deemed the best poet, author, chronologuer, will be granted a supreme prize of 1 box of Exploding Kittens!

Upon these turbulent times, our hearts and minds, unprotected, may become eroded by the colourless world, and so we in turn become colourless ourselves; without personality. T’would be an awful thing to happen to anyone, much less the youth of this world… So, we offer you this: a safe space for you to express yourself, to bring back that vibrancy you hold dear. Through the assistance of our dear UN Youth Facilitators, we hope that you will find yourselves amidst their guidance, and for you to repair your shield and improve your mental health, if it needs to be.

So that all of ye may suffer not the loss of your own colours, and march forward as if renewed, towards a brighter future for yourselves and the world! And all it would take to approach that reality would be to join us, right those wrongs, and write your rights!

This could be your workstation, in your mind's eye!

Did you know?  Australia imports over 1.42 billion units of fashion a year and every year we throw away more than 200,000 tonnes of clothing, almost 4 times the weight of the Sydney Harbour Bridge 

(The Australia Institute, May 29,2024).

Where does this clothing end up? - As textile waste in landfill.

Do you want to make a difference? - Reduce clothing waste.

How? – Upcycling and repurposing your old clothes.

Who? - For youth aged between 15-24 years.  

 

👕 Come to a fun workshop at the Library. Discover how to upcycle your old T-shirt, transform the old and create a new trendy look. 

No sewing experience needed. 

👕 The Library is partnering with Debra from Azure Beach Upcycle & Reuse. Debra leads a team that is passionate about sustainable textile practices, sustainability education and have extensive experience in delivering fun practical workshops for young people. 

They will provide all the equipment and extra reclaimed textiles needed to inspire your creativity and information to encourage your efforts to reduce textiles going to landfill. 

                        

                    👕Just bring one of your old T-shirts to recycle.
