CONTAINED AdelaideYouth JusticeNext phase

Adelaide showed what CONTAINED can do. Now build the next stops.

In June 2026, CONTAINED opened in Adelaide on Kaurna Yarta alongside the Reintegration Puzzle Conference. This page is the clean close-out: what happened, how to send it on, the guides people need, and the next year of the tour.

What Adelaide made visible

The container makes the choice physical: a cell, and the room that could have kept a child safely at home with family, school, culture and support.

Do the useful next thing, not everything at once.

Adelaide organisations

The local people already doing the work.

CONTAINED is the doorway. These Adelaide organisations are the answer behind it, on the ground, every day.

Adelaide close-out

What happened, and what has to be closed well.

What happened

Adelaide proved the format

The container gave people a physical way to sit with youth justice instead of only talking about it.

Who held it

Conference + local relationships

Reintegration Puzzle, JRI, Tandanya relationships and Adelaide partners gave the week a public frame.

What to close

Follow up while it is fresh

Thank people who came through, reply to offers, capture reflections, and separate real leads from general interest.

What improves

Build the next stop earlier

Lock site, youth partners, Room 3 organisations, media windows and funder asks before the container arrives.

Next-year vision

Use the film to show the container. Use the timeline to build the year.

The film gives people the feel of the rooms. The work now is more practical: choose the host, lock the site, build Room 3 locally, invite the right people, and follow up fast.

Send the invite

One link, and the text to send with it.

I am sending this because CONTAINED opened in Adelaide during Reintegration Puzzle week, and we are now building the next phase of the tour. It is a shipping container with two rooms: a cell, and the room that could have kept a child safely at home. Start here: justicehub.com.au/adelaide

The wall

Ask what you want. Say what you think.

The room raises questions. Leave yours here, or say what should change. Every entry is read by a person before it shows.

Say it on the day

Ask a question. Leave what you think.

Stand in the room, then put it into words. Every question and comment is read by a person before it goes on the wall.

On the wall
The wall fills up as people walk through. Be the first to say something.
Short answer

Send /adelaide for the story. Send /contained/invest when they can help fund, host, or build the next stop.
