More about the Challenge
Between July to November 2023, we have been challenging young people aged 10-21 across Australia to ideate solutions to:
"How might we reimagine a more diverse, inclusive and accessible world for young people?"
As part of this challenge, we're asking young people to focus on one of five key themes:
- Cultural Diversity: How might we encourage the practice of understanding and celebrating people from different social and ethnic backgrounds including First Nations people?
- Accessibility: How might we help create safe, accessible and inclusive practices and spaces for people with seen and/or unseen disabilities?
- Identity: How might we help create safe, accessible and inclusive practices and spaces for everyone?
- Regional and Rural Development: How might we build diversity, inclusion and accessibility in regional and rural Australia to support local communities?
- Technology: How might we utilise technology to encourage and enable accessible and/ or inclusive practices?
