TWO events which will shine the spotlight on Casey’s young people have received funding as part of National Youth Week grants.
The City of Casey received $2000 from the State Government for its Rock’n’Skate event and the Southern Ethnic Advisory and Advocacy Council received the same for its Youth Arts and Music Festival.
The events will be run during National Youth Week in April, which aims to celebrate the contribution that young people make to their community.
South Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Inga Peulich said preparations would now be underway following the funding announcement.
“The theme for 2014 – Our Voice. Our Impact – is about ensuring that young people have opportunities to speak up about the things that matter to them, and most importantly, to be heard.” she said.
National Youth Week will take place from 4 to 13 April.
