Youth Communication and Understanding Gen Z

What to Expect:

Join us for a one-day professional development workshop designed to strengthen your ability to connect with and engage young people.

This interactive training will deepen your understanding of Gen Z’s values, communication styles, and behaviours, while giving you practical strategies to build trust, foster meaningful connections, and create inclusive environments where young people thrive.

You’ll learn:

• How to communicate in ways that resonate with Gen Z.

• Strategies to overcome disengagement and encourage authentic participation.

• The role of empathy, active listening, and storytelling in building trust.

• How to recognise what sits behind behaviour and respond effectively in the moment.

Whether you’re an educator, youth worker, or community leader, this workshop will equip you with evidence-based tools to increase your communication capacity and strengthen youth engagement.

Why Gen Z Needs You to Attend This Event

Did you know...

• Gen Z is the most connected generation in history - and yet reports the highest levels of loneliness and anxiety?

• 70% of them value well-being and meaningful work over job titles - and most don’t dream of becoming the “boss”?

• They’re more digitally fluent than any generation before them, but struggle to find real mentorship, empathy, and understanding from adults?

This workshop is for you if you’re an educator, youth worker, manager, parent or mentor who’s wondering:

• “Why won’t they open up to me?”

• “What really motivates them?”

• “Why does everything feel like a crisis to them?”

• “How do I actually connect, without sounding outdated or out of touch?”
