You are invited to our FREE life-changing youth event,
ACTIVATE by Embrace!

Tuesday 19 March 2024

This year, we’re helping 1 million Australian children learn how to embrace their bodies. By creating change in the environments where they live, learn and play, we can achieve better mental and physical health outcomes for our young people - setting them up for a lifetime free of judgement and shame about their bodies.

About the event

WHEN: Tuesday 19 March, 2024 (Week 8, Term 1)

TIME: 9am - 3pm

WHERE: Wulanda, 7 Margaret Street, Mount Gambier

COST: FREE!

This full-day immersive experience includes:

  • An exclusive screening of the EMBRACE KIDS film

  • Breakout sessions with subject area experts for age-appropriate education and deeper engagement

  • Stakeholder engagement session for parents, educators (PD opportunity), sporting club coaches and/or adult community leaders

  • Participation in the creation of an art piece to leave a long-lasting reminder of the Embrace message in your community

Each attendee will be given Embrace Kids materials to take back to their communities where they can create change, helping all young people feel comfortable and confident in their bodies.

Places are limited, so we encourage you to register early.
