LANDCARE YOUTH PROGRAM
“Engaging the youth is a huge passion of mine, I didn’t receive the support when I was at school because no one knew what the possibilities were and as a young person myself, that difficulty of not knowing what to do, what was out there, the opportunities that exist…so it’s great to see a Youth Summit like this being organised.” Katherine, Landcare Coordinator, Sydney
There is a lot of noise in the media and society today about the environment and adapting to a changing climate. Children are activists’ online and on the streets at protest marches, but what else can young people do to make a difference?
We have recently held the Landcare Youth Summit at Parliament House in Canberra where we received positive feedback, great ideas and useful tips on how landcare can help young people take action in their local communities.
We are in the process of co-designing a Landcare Youth Program, if you would like to contribute to this program please contact us on digital@landcareaustralia.com.au
On Wednesday 4 August, 2021 we will host the first ever National Landcare Youth Conference, held as a key event of the 2021 National Landcare Conference in Sydney at the ICC. If you would like to make speak at this event or get involved in any way, please contact us on digital@landcareaustralia.com.au
