We are delighted to be screening 'CHILDREN', the 2nd film by the Ukrainian film director, Lora Arkhypenko on Thursday 27 November from 6pm at the Arena Theatre. CHILDREN is not just a film about war or emigration. It is a story about a generation growing up between two worlds, learning to find its place in a new reality while holding on to its roots. Tickets are still available to book on a 'pay what you can' basis. The event also includes a pop up gallery of artwork by children still living in Ukraine.

We are delighted to have initiated the work on this crucial project. We are looking forward to working with colleagues across the University of Wolverhampton to enhance support for young adult carers.
