Doco & Discussion: What's Your 2040?

🍃 You’re invited to a night of connection, food, and conversation about our future in Naarm 🍃 

As eloquently expressed by Amanda Gorman in her poem Earthrise, the challenge of climate change is daunting but not insurmountable. How can we, individually and collectively, make a difference? What future can we envision, and how can we achieve it?

Join us at D'Shut to view ‘2040’, the incredibly relevant documentary by Australian director Damon Gameau. Motivated by concern for his young daughter’s future, he travels the globe in search of answers to these challenging questions. 

Then, join us as we engage in discussion and creativity, learning more about the 'Plan for Victoria' while enjoying some delicious native-infused canapes by pioneers in the native-produce sector, Pawa Catering. Come to be inspired and to engage in community conversation about what’s important and possible for our futures. Walk away with some ideas on what tangible steps you can take to make a difference + a wee gift as a thank you from us!

This event is a part of a series of community engagements designed and run by young people in their local communities with the support of YLab.

YLab is a co-design and consulting social enterprise that brings young people with diverse lived experiences and partners together.

The purpose of this event is to provide an opportunity for local young people to connect with one another and contribute their vision for an upcoming Plan for Victoria. The Plan will be embedded in our government for the next thirty years by the Department of Transport and Planning. It is important young people get the chance to contribute to this Plan honestly and deeply. As an attendee you have full agency over your story and how much or how little you share, during or after the event.

• Affordable Housing & Choice
• Equity & Jobs
• Thriving & Liveable Suburbs & Towns
