Collaboration & Participation of Young People
Young people must be actively involved in the planning, coordination and implementation of Youth Week activities.
Applicants are required to provide information on how young people will be involved throughout each stage of planning and running Youth Week celebrations.
Successful applicants will also be required to submit evidence of this within their evaluation and acquittal report following their event.
A great way of engaging young people is by starting with your local youth service providers, schools and youth community groups, who can assist by connecting you with local young people in Maitland.
National Youth Week events must be inclusive and accessible for all young people (12-25 years old), including those who have additional needs or face barriers in the community.
Individuals and groups thinking about submitting an application to hold a Youth Week celebration are encouraged to consider collaborating with others. This is a great way to build partnerships and connections, share resources and workload and work together to create a successful event.
