Young people from throughout the region with positive ideas about the future of youth development in the region are encouraged to nominate to attend the Wide Bay Burnett Youth Summit 2012.
The Summit is open to young people aged 12- 25 years and will be held on 18th April at the Bargara Cultural Centre.
Council’s spokesperson for Community and Arts Cr. Judy Peters said the Summit will encourage young people to identify issues which are affecting them and discuss how to work to design and develop solutions.
Cr. Peters said there is a novel way which young people wanting to attend the summit need to nominate.
“Those wishing to attend need to take a photo of their shoes and tell a short story about where the shoes have been and where they hope to go in the future” Cr. Peters said.
Cr. Peters said organizers are also looking for a name for the summit with the author of the selected name to receive either a $50 iTunes voucher, $50 mobile phone credit or $50 fuel voucher.
Details about the Wide Bay Burnett Youth Summit 2012 are available at www.bundaberg.qld.gov.au Name suggestions and summit nominations can be downloaded and sent to Bundaberg Regional Council PO Box 3130, Bundaberg or lodged online.
