Manjimup’s young people engaged performing artist Jayne Lee, musician Phil Strahan and urban artist Sam Allen to deliver four days of workshops for the community.

Participants took part in dance, signing and urban art workshops, and heard from public speakers to raise drug awareness.

“The knowledge that was gained through the grant writing process and community networking and communication was all invaluable and essential for future projects and events for the youth and myself as we were educated in more depth of the drug problem.”
