The Victorian Youth Congress are hosting a Youth Forum on Saturday 15 August as part of their core project work and they are really keen to include voices of young people from regional Victoria. Please see attached flyer and information below for more details.

This year, the Victorian Youth Congress has been exploring how Victoria can better support young people to make informed decisions about their education, training and career pathways.

Through conversations with young people across the state, Congress members have heard that many young people face barriers to accessing information, opportunities and support that align with their interests, strengths and aspirations. We also know that regional young people often have unique experiences that deserve dedicated attention.

This forum has been designed to create space for regional young people to come together, share their experiences, brainstorm ideas and ideate innovative solutions that could improve education and career pathways across Victoria.

This won't be a traditional consultation. Instead, participants will take part in an engaging, workshop-style session where they'll collaborate with other young people, explore different perspectives, build on each other's ideas and help identify the solutions with the greatest potential for impact.
