YLTW Kyogle Facilitator Training & Congress

June-July 2022 | Kyogle, NSW, Australia

Connecting young people who care about the planet to share their ideas for change.

We trained community members to help run OzGREEN's Youth Leading the World Congresses. We hosted a 2 day workshop to bring young people together to work on how they can create a brighter future. Equipped with the knowledge, skills and strategic processes, young people expressed their concerns, created visions for the future and planned projects to make a positive impact in their communities
