What is Youth Week?
Youth Week is the largest annual celebration for young people in Australia. It is supported by Australian, State, Territory and Local Governments to promote a positive profile of young people in their communities. It is a unique opportunity for young people to highlight their issues and concerns and express their ideas and opinions.
What happens during Youth Week?
Youth Week is a special celebration for all young people aged 12-25 in every part of Queensland. It offers lots of opportunities for young people to: showcase their talents, contributions and achievements, exchange their ideas and views, attend live events,
raise issues of concern to them, act on issues that affect their lives, participate in new activities and learn new skills.
If you're after ideas on how you can participate we have 59 of them!
Youth Week also gives the wider community an opportunity to: hear what young people have to say promote and celebrate the positive contributions young people make to their communities address issues that concern young people.
