Australia’s biggest event for young people, National Youth Week, held from 8th April to 17th April 2016, celebrates young people and is an opportunity for youth to express their ideas and views and act on issues that affect their lives. A joint initiative of the Australian, State Territory and Local Governments, National Youth week is an annual, week-long celebration of young people throughout the country.
Ranging from film festivals, music performances and art exhibitions, 115 organisations receiving a National Youth Week 2016 grant will stage events throughout Victoria to celebrate and recognise the contribution of young people. Last year (2015) more than 20,000 young people from across Victoria participated in National Youth Week activities.
