AYF becomes a partner of National Youth Week 2010

National Youth Week (NYW) was launched on Saturday 10 April simultaneously in Parramatta (NSW) and Victor Harbor (SA). This year, the AYF is a NYW partner, sponsoring the “DesignIT”, the National Talent Competition for graphic design. The theme for DesignIT 2010 is ‘Share Our World’, which encourages you to show everyone about whats important to you in your world.

The AYF was at the NYW launch sites with information and activities based on the theme ‘Share Our World’. See what young people had to say – check out the photos below.

There are still lots of NYW events that you can view through the NYW events calendar.

Get more info on NYW and the competitions on the NYW website. Competitions are open until Friday 30 April 2010. Live it now!

NYW 2010 Ambassador for the AYF is Olympic Gold Medallist for diving, Matthew Mitcham. Matthew and fellow NYW 2010 Ambassador Stephanie Rice visited the AYF Marquee at the Parramatta launch site and ‘shared their world’ along with many other young people – check out the photos below.

I love the ability to work with our government, but wish young people would take advantage of that freedom.
