National Youth Week 2011 begins across Australia today and fun events are scheduled: Mid-North Coast events calendar here. Northern Region events here. Richmond Tweed events here.
Page MP Janelle Saffin is encouraging young people across the region to showcase their talents during National Youth Week, which kicks off today with the theme “Own It!"
“Young musicians, writers, photographers, film makers and graphic designers have until April 17 to enter in the National Talent Competition categories – Rock IT, Write IT, SnapIT, Shoot IT and Design IT,” Ms Saffin said.
“There will be a number of events held all over our region – many of them run by young people for young people- including the art expo in Kyogle, street festival in Ballina, film festival in Grafton and skate competition in Lismore.
“National Youth Week gives local young people of a great chance to display the unique and creative talent our part of the world is famous for.”
“People can get involved by taking part in events, entering one of the many competitions and putting forward their views. “This is a great opportunity for our youth to get out there and own Youth Week in our region,” Ms Saffin said. National Youth Week is a joint initiative of the Australian, State and Territory and Local governments and has run annually since 2000. This year, highlights of the national launch tomorrow (Saturday April 2) will be streamed live on the National Youth Week Young Members’ Facebook page.
