Ben Kent from Western Australia
1. What are you most looking forward to about Youth Week?
I can’t wait to see young people showing the world they’re capable of incredible things.
2. What is your favourite day of the week and why?
Friday. I get to look back at all the work I’ve done and it means the weekend is about the kick off.
3. What does ‘Live it Now’ mean to you?
Getting right in amongst it all.
4. If you could travel to one place in the world, where would you go?
Back to Berlin. There are so many cool places for all types of people to hang out and be comfortable. I feel like I’m back home.
5. Who/what inspires you?
People who have the courage to upset the status quo by speaking the truth.
6. Why did you decided to get involved in National Youth Week?
Who wouldn’t wanna help young people all over Australia celebrate who they are and what it’s like to be young?
7. When are you happiest?
When I’m surrounded by energetic souls who have the know-how to make amazing things happen.
8. What is rocking your iPod at the moment?
My sister’s DJ set – I can’t count the amount of times I’ve been caught singing to myself on the train.
9. If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?
I’d be made of Teflon. That way I would say what I want and it wouldn’t stick to me.
10. What is something that not a lot of people know about you?
I have a morbid fascination of wanting to know what’s it’s like to use the emergency slide on an airplane.
