📖✨ Stories of Change – now on display in Clones Library!

We’re delighted to see the incredible work created by young people through the Stories of Change project come together as an exhibition for Social Inclusion Week.

Through creativity and storytelling, the young people explored important themes including misinformation, equality and acceptance, while sharing their own ideas and experiences.

👏 A huge well done to everyone involved in bringing the project to life!

Our next guest announcement is The Amazing Ross Beadman.

Ross played everyone's favourite little jedi youngling who had a brief but infamous encounter with Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith.

We'll be talking to him about his experiences joining the Star Wars universe at such a young age and also becoming one of the most well known memes of all time.

"But Master Skywalker, theres too many of them, what are we going to do?"
