You’re Welcome Here
These fabulous posters have been created by young people from the Border to challenge discrimination and help make people of all sexualities and genders feel welcome. The three winning entries from the ‘You’re Welcome Here’ competition run by WayOut Wodonga and headspace Albury Wodonga last year are sure to make an impact in schools, services and communities across the region.
