Talk Show: Hypothetical

At around 11 or 12 years old young people are starting to understand and grapple with abstract concepts like love, happiness and equality. They’re beginning to make decisions by thinking and analysing as opposed to only by feeling or experiencing.

Further Information

For WOW Festival 2018, Utp invited 5 young people aged 11 to 13 years old to each grapple with an abstract concept as part of a hypothetical situation and share their thoughts with you. Western Sydney young people Sophie Campbell, Nicholas Naumov, Shaan Palankar, Haneen Sabsabi and Marley Satchel shared a variety of works covering electronic music, news journalism, musical performance, documentary film making and self help talks.
