Community Exhibition
We All Bloom Differently
28 October – 1 November 2024
An Exhibition Celebrating National Care Leavers’ Week
Join us for a special exhibition, “We All Bloom Differently”, created by Dorset’s care leavers, to commemorate National Care Leavers’ Week (Monday 28th October to Sunday 3rd November). This exhibition offers an opportunity to explore the personal stories, thoughts, and creativity of those who have experienced the care system.
Through a collection of words, images, and artwork, visitors will gain insight into the lives and experiences of care leavers. Each piece reflects the individuality and resilience of young people who have overcome challenges and blossomed in their own unique ways.
“We all bloom differently – come and discover who we are and what we can achieve.”
Entry to the exhibition is FREE.
For more information about the exhibition or to find out more about Dorset’s care leavers and how you can lend your support, please contact Dorset Council’s Youth Voice team. email: [email protected]
Please note: the exhibition will be closed to the public at times on Friday 1st November for a private event.
