Youth Week WA is running from 10 – 16 April, bringing more than 50 events to venues across the state celebrating the positive contributions of young people.
The initiative aims to acknowledge the role of young people in our communities, while providing a platform to share ideas, discuss community issues, showcase their talents and co-design local events.
Minister for Youth Hannah Beazley says this is a chance for all of us to celebrate the amazing young people in our lives.
“Ranging from the Kimberley to the South West, young people will be able to enjoy an
abundance of events that amplify their voices and highlight their achievements,’ Minister Beazley said.
“I encourage all Western Australians to visit a Youth Week event in your local community and
show your support for our State’s incredible young people.”
Events include skill-building workshops, youth markets and other celebrations delivered by community organisations and local governments.
The Youth Affairs Council of WA (YACWA) are hosting the official closing event with YouthFest: Colour Your Story at Perth Town Hall on Thursday, 16 April.
YouthFest will feature DJs and live performances, creative activities, delicious food and community stalls in an alcohol-free environment.
Youth Week WA is running until Thursday, 16 April. Check out what’s happening in your area at youthweek.wa.gov.au
