Youth Affairs Council Victoria (YACVic)’s 2017 conference is aimed at youth workers across government, non-government, and community sectors. Front and Centre will explore themes around the changing nature of youth work, the complexities of our practice and how we tell the compelling story of youth work and its positive impacts.

The four workshop streams (which will run concurrently for approximately 60 minutes) are:

Research
Policy and Advocacy
Practice 101 (topics and ideas aimed new youth workers, with 0-4 years work experience in our sector)
Practice Masterclass (for more advanced practitioners)

Workshop topics that may be considered include (but are not limited to):

youth justice
family violence
NDIS
mental health and well-being
youth participation
youth work in cross cultural contexts
self care
models of integrated service

Workshop proposals will be selected according to:

a diversity of topics and presenters
experience engaging young people in program development and delivery, ideally demonstrating how this has improved outcomes for young people
