During lockdown, a group of girls came together and made The Female Voice, a podcast series about gender equality, female leadership, representation, and much more.

These conversations are inspiration for a digital celebration of work to mark International Day of the Girl. Come back soon for:

• The launch of The Female Voice – a magazine that reimagines girls magazines designed by girls
• A postcard series of highlights from the Podcasts
• Tiny Tales of alternative heroines

In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

Young people across Earlsfield are joining together to make Be Kind, a socially-distanced exhibition on kindness. Through collage art and storytelling, they will highlight how we care for ourselves, each other, our community, and our environment. Pieces of Be Kind will be displayed in shops in the local area from November-December 2020. The full exhibit will be on display at the Home Cafe during December 2020.

To refer a young person between 11-13 years old please email louise@bouncetheatre.com

Want to make something at home, are you shielding or quarantining? Get involved and download our Be Kind Collage pack. Make art for your home or send it to us to be included in the exhibition. (Available from October 2020)
