MAKING Matters 2020
We asked young people aged 5-11 to tell us what mattered to them. Large and small, personal and global, they responded and told us about the issues that need our attention. Below are the amazing creative responses we received, in a wide range of mediums including drawing, spoken word and 3D art.
