Through a series of workshops led by Riley, students explored the concept of empathy, recognising emotions (our own and of those around us), as well as the importance of building healthy relationships from a young age. This exhibition forms part of the City of Wodonga’s involvement in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. This global campaign seeks to raise awareness about violence against women and its impact on women’s physical, psychological, social and spiritual wellbeing.
