Youth Advisory Workshops
Structured Youth Engagement Designed To Help Organisations Hear Authentic Young Perspectives
Youth Advisory Workshops help organisations engage young people in meaningful conversations about ideas, experiences, opportunities and the future, creating space to hear authentic perspectives from the next generation of employee, consumer, attendee or stakeholder.
Trusted by industry partners, local governments and community organisations, these workshops are designed to help leaders better understand what young people value, how they think and what shapes the choices they make as they move through education, work and everyday life.
Using a design thinking approach, participants move beyond feedback alone to co-design practical recommendations that can help inform future programs, initiatives, services and engagement strategies.
Sessions can be delivered as one off workshops or multi-session engagements, with flexible formats available online, in schools, at your offices, or in independent venues depending on the audience and outcomes you are looking to achieve.
