Event description

MYAN WA is holding its next forum on representation and opportunities for young people from multicultural backgrounds. There will be a panel discussion exploring why it is important for young people to have a seat at decision making tables and the pathways service providers can develop to ensure young people can access leadership opportunities.

We will hear from young leaders on what their experience has been, including the barriers and enablers they faced. The panel will share their learnings on why we need to centre young people as experts on matters that affect them and their communities, and how this can lead to stronger outcomes for everyone.

The first half of the forum will include a panel with young people and service providers, with time for Q&A, followed by a networking morning tea.

RSVP's are essential as places are limited.

Please contact myanwa@yacwa.org.au if you have any questions.

MYAN WA aims to develop the capacity of WA practitioners, service providers, policy makers and funding bodies to ensure positive settlement outcomes for young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds. MYAN WA provides a voice to the unique issues faced by young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds and ensures that they are integrated into the ongoing advocacy agenda of YACWA. It has grown to become the platform for both government and non-government services providers, communities and schools to come together and tackle issues faced by the multicultural youth sector. MYAN WA continues to work to strengthen youth engagement in policy making and advocacy. In the past year, the organisation has led a number of projects that enhance the skills of multicultural youth and amplify their voices and experiences in today's Australia.
