National Conversation

Host Your Own Forum

 

Are you interested in hosting a forum with your friends, in your school or community as part of the National Conversation? Hosting a forum will ensure your opinions guide the development of the National Strategy for Young Australians.

The AYF has developed a Host Your Own Forum kit to assist you in organising an event. This kit includes all the information you need to organise and run the event. The kit includes:

- The National Conversation Discussion Paper PDF (129KB)  RTF (112KB)
- Overview PDF (31KB)  RTF (22KB)
- How to host your own forum PDF (45KB)  RTF (89KB)

Forums can be held from 22 October to 9 November, 2009.

The suggested number of participants for a forum is between five and fifty, but the ideal number will depend on your location, support staff and any special needs of the participants.

Minister Ellis has recorded a video welcome that can be used at your forum.

Make sure you register your event so it can be included on the National Conversation Event Listing page.

To ensure your submission is incorporated into the youTHINK event on 12 November responses will need to be sent to the AYF by 9 November 2009. Email ayf@deewr.gov.au or fax 02 6123 6020.
