Tasmanian Minister for Youth message

National Youth Week 2012 (NYW) in Tasmania is set to deliver some great events and experiences for young Tasmanians.  

This year’s theme - Imagine.  Inspire.  Create. – aptly describes how the ideas of young Tasmanians can lead to fantastic community events, projects and activities, that really celebrate young people in our community.

NYW is a big occasion for young Tasmanians.  It provides a platform for young people to showcase their contribution to the Tasmanian community and their many talents.  It also gives the wider community an opportunity to recognise and acknowledge the value that Gen Y bring to the community. 

NYW is a unique opportunity for young people to initiate, plan and develop events and activities across the State.  In Tasmania, our young people provide valuable input into planning and setting the direction of the week, through the NYW Steering Committee.

For NYW 2012, I encourage all young Tasmanians to find out about NYW events in their local communities by ‘Liking’ the National Youth Week in Tasmania facebook page.

So, Imagine, be Inspired and all the best for Creating an exciting National Youth Week!
