Book a Workshop

When you book a workshop through The Big Issue, a lived-experience guest speaker is given employment.

 

“I feel proud I’m helping kids. It makes me feel good when they thank me for sharing my story. I think that students learn from my story – and know how to ask for help if they need it.”
Shane is a guest speaker in Melbourne.

“It’s confronting to think that an offer of help can also be seen as a threat to someone…I really found that it was a worthwhile session. I love to hear about other people’s stories. They help us to get a better understanding, especially if it’s around a topic we don’t experience or know a lot about.”
