Strengthening Youth Participation in Practice

Youth participation is not just a principle — it is a core part of effective and accountable youth work practice. This one-day training brings together youth workers from across the local area to explore how young people can be meaningfully involved in shaping programs, services, and systems. There will be a particular focus on how to support opportunities for young people experiencing social exclusion and marginalisation to have their voices heard and influence decisions in their lives.

Participants will deepen their understanding of participation rights through the lens of the United Nations and the NSW Government, while exploring key youth participation frameworks including Hart’s Ladder, Shier’s Pathways to Participation, and Lundy’s Model of Participation. The workshop will also explore youth advisory groups, youth voice mechanisms, and strategies for supporting young people’s involvement in decision-making — from individual service design through to broader systemic and community change.
