Youth Engagement Strategy
Thursday 17 August
The Australian Government is developing a youth engagement strategy to set out how governments will listen to the voices of young people on issues that matter to them. They are running a consultation from 4:30-6:00 at The Old Woolstore at 1 Macquarie Street to hear from young people what they want the strategy to look like. The consultation is open for anyone aged 12-25 and is an amazing opportunity for young people to have their voices heard. If you have any questions, or to RSVP, you can email youth@education.gov.au. You can also fill in a survey or visit the website for more information.
