Youth in Local Government Conference

Working together to transform the future is the aim of the Youth and Local Government Conference being held in Christchurch from 6-8 October 2008.

Date: 6 October 2008 to 8 October 2008
Location: Christchurch

This biennial event provides an opportunity for those working in local government who are interested in developing stronger links with young people, to meet together, build networks and discuss issues related to involving young people in their local communities.

The conference provides a place to share knowledge about how we can work together to transform the future by growing active citizens.
The conference begins with a youth-only day. Gloria Grace Sharplin from the local youth council is keen for every other youth council in New Zealand to send people to this conference. She’ll make sure they have a great time in the garden city, and get some quality time with other young people and decision makers.
