National Youth Week serves as a platform for young people to exchange ideas, participate in live activities, express their opinions on relevant matters, exhibit their abilities, acknowledge their societal impact, engage in competitions, and simply have fun!
The annual celebration highlights the skills and creativity of Australian youths aged 12 to 25.
Initiated by the NSW Government in 1989, Youth Week has evolved into a nationwide occasion. It is coordinated by and for young individuals in various communities throughout Australia. Youth Week strives towards ensuring young people can live physically and mentally healthy lives, have a voice and can influence change, and feel connected, engaged with, and welcomed in their communities.
We recommend the below activities to get started with:
