Overview
Inspired by the work, Saplings, panel discussion explores the difference between equality and equity, asking what fairness really looks like for young people growing up in inequitable systems.
Through conversation about storytelling, lived experience and social change, the panel will unpack how theatre can challenge perspectives, foster empathy, and open conversations about justice, access and belonging.
Featuring artists, educators, young people and community voices, this conversation invites audiences to reflect on how stories can shape a fairer future.
Panelists to be announced shortly.
