So humbling to hear from the people talking about their experiences of supporting young people and their families when they are in most immediate need. Letâs make a future where yp donât need to learn to be resilient to a world thatâs hostile. #whatkindofcity

Amazing, incredible, magical things happen when people come together in places where creativity and care is at the centre #galleries @mcrartgallery @WhitworthArt #whatkindofcity
Loving the talk of alliance, having a safe space, taking the mic, talking to people in power. Bringing people together to share, show support and care for one another is 100% the role of art and galleries. #whatkindofcity @WhitworthArt @mcrartgallery
Everyoneâs gone into break out chats now. Thoughts:
nurture and the soul
caring for youth workers
giving young people the skills they need to deal with everything they are exposed to via social media
life skills including financial management

Great convo going on about youth agency @WhitworthArt #whatkindofcity with Suzanne Lacy. So thrilled I can watch this from home in the company of my (really young person) preschooler. Catch it live on YouTube.
