"Mini Mind's Draw submission"

Mini Minds Brexit Campaign

'Love it or hate it we are all on a journey and we are intending to explore this with our brexit exhibition.

We would like to look in to the feeling of this momentous, revolutionary or damn right foolish adventure to see what it means to you, your family and our future.' 

                                                                                             The Thought Foundation

The Thought Foundations latest exhibition is 'The 50 Articles of Brexit" here is Mini Minds response...

There has been so much fall out between families, friends and communities both before and after the vote. People aren't listening to one another, they're shouting their arguments that are littered with insults and cruel words. If only we all just stopped and tried to understand each other. All of our situations and experiences are different which have lead to different responses. Mini Mind just wants to remind everyone, Love not Hate x

Mini Mind's Big Idea

Mini Mind has a second book that you can buy from the wonderful shop at they Thought Foundation, 'Mini Mind's Big Idea'. He is a very creative soul and creates toys from old bits of scrap metal thrown away by the big factory in town. Once the factory gets wind of the beautiful things he's making, he gets very VERY angry!
