Overlaid text includes a purple box that reads “UNLEASHED” and another that says “An initiative for change.” At the bottom, a purple cloud shows a calendar icon with the date “17 April 2026” and a location pin icon with “Portsmouth.”

An indoor cultural or heritage space with patterned walls. A young person stands beside a tall, colourful artwork made of patchwork‑style panels in blues, purples, reds, and greens. The person appears to be observing the installation. At the bottom is a purple cloud graphic with white text: “Hear from young people. Learn from their leadership. Rethink your practice.”

A close-up image of a person outdoors holding a red ribbon or material while participating in an activity. The person is wearing a layered shirt and has medium‑length hair. The background is blurred. Across the lower half of the image is a purple cloud shape with white text: “Learn from keynote speakers from across sectors sharing real, practical insight.” Purple graphic lines curve behind the figure.

A large group of people sit around tables in a bright indoor space, engaged in arts‑based or creative workshop activities. Some people are writing or drawing, while others are in discussion. The room is filled with natural light from large windows. Over the image, a purple label reads “FREE TO ATTEND.” At the bottom, a purple cloud‑shaped graphic contains white text: “Learn, Connect & Create. South West, 17 April | Portsmouth.
