Are you a young person in South Australia who has lived experience of the youth justice system?

Would you like to share your experience in a creative way? 

We’re hosting free workshops in partnership with SYC where you will be supported to share your experience in whatever creative style you choose.

If you want, your creation will then be exhibited as part of The Reintegration Puzzle Conference in June and you will be paid.

It’s a space for sharing ideas and experiences, and finding better ways to support children, young people and adults returning to the community.
