10-18 April 2010National Youth Week (NYW) is the largest celebration of young people on the Australian youth calendar. The ‘Live it Now’ slogan is a call to action for young people to get involved and make the most or their resources, skills and abilities during the week. Find out more about National Youth Week 2009 on the national website for National Youth Week. Activities and eventsEach year a wide range of events and activities are held across Tasmania, including concerts, forums and festivals. In NYW 2009 there were 89 events, which included over 270 activities for young people. GrantsIf you are a council or a non-profit non-government organisation you can apply for funding to hold an event or activity during NYW through the Community Capacity Building Grants Program. Schools play a key role in the enabling young people to participate in NYW activities and events. The NYW Schools Program is designed to enable students to decide how they would like to celebrate NYW. Schools may apply for a grant of $300 from the $9,000 NYW Schools Program to help provide young people with an opportunity to organise a NYW activity. Applications must be received by Friday 5 March 2010.
Official participantsIf you are not eligible for grant funding your organisation can still become an official participant of NYW which will give you access to the State and national NYW advertising and marketing marketing materials. Aims and objectives of NYW:
