Throughout this event and each activity, Artswork will be encouraging neurodivergent young people to discuss how we can create accessible and inclusive events, and how they would like to promote positive youth-led change in the New Forest District.
This is a great opportunity to have your say and shape what the creative future of the New Forest will look like.
