Join us for our first online youth-led solutions summit where young people from across the country can share their experiences of COVID-19 and work collectively on what the solutions are to the issues they face. With amazing young panellists from Democracy in Colour, Young Campaigns, FYA and the Y together with Zoe Robinson (Advocate for Children and Young People, NSW) for an intergenerational conversation about how young people can be at the heart of our economic and social recovery in a post-COVID world.
