• ensure young people can participate in the planning and development of all National Youth Week activities
• acknowledge the common interests of young people as well as their diverse backgrounds and experiences
• showcase young people’s talents, contributions and achievements to the rest of the community
• help enable young people express their ideas and provide opportunities to give them a voice

There is a large range of events and opportunities to be involved. These include live performances, music and cultural events, art exhibitions, competitions, sport competitions, youth forums, workshops, community projects and much more.

You will find competitions, heaps of advice on ways to celebrate and lots of fun things to do during National Youth Week at youthcentral.
