Late last year Minister for Youth Kate Ellis had an online and offline consultation about issues facing young Australians. As our contribution to this consultation, we went around the ACT and did interviews with young people in schools, work and universities. We had an enormous amount of content and were able to put some of it together into a series of short videos about the challenges and concerns of youth in the ACT.
An enormous thank you to Annika Hutchins, Ellie Yates, Pascal Klein and Tom Bluck for conducting the interviews, and to Eliza Allen for helping with the editing. It was a fantastic team effort with just 10 days to compile and edit the contribution. I also want to thank Pia Waugh for her enthusiasm to try something new to facilitate and promote better engagement. Most of all, thanks to the young people who spoke to us!
