11 awesome young people from The City of Gosnells in WA participated in a workshop this week. They came together to think about how they could make the world a better place for young people and discussed what that might look like. 

During the workshop the young people identified what was important to them. 

Check out some of the key issues that they identified that they cared abouthere. 

Once they had identified heaps of the possible ways they could take action  they then then identified all the great strengths, skills and interests they had in the room. They all had some great skills and a diversity of interests that they can use for taking action - we put all these into a tree of knowledge - check it out:

Then thinking about all the ways they could take action and all the skills and interests they had in the room they then divided into two groups to develop actions to assist the community.

Check out the teams planning their actions below:

The actions they came up with were to:
1. Hold an event to bring together the young people in their community, and
2. To raise awareness of young people in hospital and to fundraise to provide assistance to these young people.

Over the next three weeks the young people will put these plans into action.

They will share their experiences via regular blog updates and comment updates - reflecting on their visions for change and whether they meet their aims while also taking stock of the highlights, challenges and impacts that taking action has had on them as individuals.
