We need your help to build social cohesion in schools and combat isolation and loneliness in young people. Vote for The Listening Table in Schools in the Great Regional City Challenge.

Being a young person right now is tough and if we can them listening to each other, being heard, being understood and belonging this is something that will stay with them for life.

Help us build a better society with young people.

Another amazing night of storytelling. Such a wide range of stories, a day in the life of a cat, forgiveness, escaping robbery in Venezuela , a backpackers story, a fascination with Georgia, the group storytelling of Gilgamesh, Enkidu and Humbaba, wedding day upheavals, embracing the bad things and rhubarb. Thank you to all our storytellers and listeners. See you on the first Wednesday of June. Book in here. https://events.humanitix.com/launnie-monthly-storytelling-833uhfeq/tickets

Great to catch up with Jo Palmer MLC Minister for Education.

Despite our world being so connected through social media, loneliness is one of our biggest issues.

So great to join Ben from The Listening Project at Neighbourhoodlaunceston in Trevallyn and talk about his listening mat.

65 people in the room last night for a warm night at Du Cane . Here is a selection of the 10 storytellers we had last night. The stories ranged from Ali Baba, to poison apples, hiking Federation Peak, Billy the worker, a marriage proposal, a magical Celtic harp. a friends love, memories of South Africa, inappropriate Pommie bashing, coming to Australia and Brits abroad!

It was a great, if a little warm evening.

We hope you can join us next month. Here is the link below.
