2018 Highlights from Brisbane Youth Week
Brisbane Youth Week – Friday 6 to Sunday 15 April 2018 – provided opportunities for young people to share ideas, have their voices heard on issues of concern to them, attend events and celebrate their contribution to the community. This year we supported young people to organise over 100 events across Brisbane including panels, workshops, live music performances, sports and rec opportunities, festivals and community celebrations. With over 7,000 people attending events over the 10 days, it was a lot of fun and we just want to thank everyone who helped plan the events and make Brisbane Youth Week so successful.
