NSW Youth Summit

NSW Youth Summit

Later this year, UNICEF Australia, with support from the NSW Government, is hosting the first NSW Youth Summit on Living with Drought. 

 

The 3-day Summit is a chance for young people (aged 14-24 years) to come together to discuss the challenges and action needed for young people to better cope with the realities of drought and be better prepared for future droughts.

 

The Summit runs Wednesday 9 October 2019 - Friday 11 October 2019 at Point Wolstoncroft Sports & Recreation Centre.

 

Summit participants will hear from inspiring speakers, and take part in discussions, workshops and activities. They will work with others who share and understand their struggle, form new support networks and learn new tools and strategies to cope with the daily struggles of the drought. It will be an opportunity to connect, engage and reflect, surrounded by the beautiful waters of Lake Macquarie, NSW.

 

UNICEF Australia would like to ensure the Summit represents the diversity of experiences and backgrounds of young people in drought-affected regional NSW – including those most severely impacted by the drought and Aboriginal young people.

 

Return travel from a regional town (locations TBD) to the venue, accommodation, and meal costs will be fully covered.
