Summer Writing Workshops

As part of the Untold Stories project, funded by a Libraries for Health and Wellbeing Grant, we are holding two workshops for young people aged 12-25 connected to the LGBTIQA+ community, to capture stories about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Both workshops are free of charge and will be held at Monash Youth Services - Level 1, 2 Euneva Ave Glen Waverley.
