Youth Week WA 2025 will
be celebrated from 10-17 April, with the theme 'Our Threads, This Place, Your
Moment'.
The theme has been selected
by the Youth Week WA Planning Committee and reflects young people's connection
to the community and each other.
Youth Week is Western Australia's
biggest annual celebration of young people aged 10-25, recognising their
valuable contributions and providing them opportunities to express ideas, raise
important issues and connect with peers in their local communities.
'Our Threads' represents interconnectedness and
young people coming together across WA to share their stories and experiences.
'This Place' references the physical and social
environments that young people inhabit and celebrates the diverse communities
and landscapes that make up WA.
'Your Moment' acknowledges WA's incredible
young people and is a reminder that they can make an impact, be seen and feel
connected, now and into the future.
The Youth Week WA Planning Committee has a vital role in
shaping the festivities and is made up of a group of inspiring young people,
including Youth Week 2025 Ambassadors Daisy Pilsworth, Emily Sullivan, Lissa
Lee and Om Sharma.
The ambassadors, announced
in September, are helping to lead the planning, development and promotion of
Youth Week WA 2025.
The City of Karratha will
kick off festivities next year, followed by more than 100 events across WA to
celebrate and showcase young people.
Youth Week WA events and
projects are funded through the Department of Communities, Propel Youth Arts,
Lotterywest, and the WA Government's Youth Week WA grants program.
The Cook Labor Government
has made $80,000 in grants available to support activities and events next year
with successful applicants to be announced soon.
