'Turning Ideas Into Action' Shepparton's Regional Youth Forums

Posted on Friday 18th of November, 2016,

The Youth Affairs Council Victoria is thrilled to be partnering with the Victorian Government to deliver a series of 12 youth forums across the state.

The forums, themed 'Turning Ideas into Action', are designed for young people to learn how to develop skills in community involvement and as a platform to discuss their ideas.

The forums will help determine the agenda of the inaugural Youth Summit, to be held during National Youth Week next year. Participants will also elect regional representatives to the Victorian Youth Congress, a diverse group of young Victorians who will advise the Government on priority issues for today’s young people.

Youth Affairs Council Victoria CEO Georgie Ferrari said, “YACVic has long advocated for young people to be seen as the experts in their own lives. These regional forums are the exciting beginning of a process that will ensure young people’s ideas are front and centre in policy making in Victoria.”

Young people who can’t make it to one of our forums can still have their say via our online youth survey.
