This isn’t just about music—it’s about you.
Music is the spark that opens up real conversations about the things that matter most to young people.
From identity and mental health to friendships, dreams, and the pressures of growing up, we use creative expression to explore life’s challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth.
Through writing, sharing, and honest discussion, this workshop aims to build confidence, inspire hope, and remind every participant that their voice matters.
