To everybody who supported, hosted, organised, created, danced and exhibited, THANK YOU!  

We've had an amazing two weeks packed with creativity, collaboration and brilliant moments from young people across the festival. From workshops and performances to exhibitions and new partnerships, the energy has been incredible.  

We hope you had as much fun as we did!
