I attended a red cross regional conference a few weeks ago and the
mayor of Parramatta spoke saying how when he first moved into the
community, he had a bbq to get to know everyone and how he got to know
people and his street community comming together and I dont know how
things are in different areas but most places that I see..its the same
story, people live in houses, youth have over 300 contacts, most of
them how live about 15mins away from them yet hey havent met.

We find more and more youth being diagnosed with depression, feeling
isolated, with the world at their fingertips...we still feel more
colder then our parents would have.

A way to get youth together, a way to show them that 'hey u have
potential, great potiental'
You get this ALOT at leaderships conferences and other various things
but it is restrcited only to leaders. We go and get our skills fine
tuned, we are taught to stand firmer, to speak louder and aim higher
but what about those who simply dont know how to stand to begin with,
those who dont know how to speak at all and those who lack motivation
and belonging...
Scary thing is, these people and we are the future so something more
needs to be done...

I really dont know what I am trying to say but I dont know...a youth
led festival organised by youth and not so much by the council, just
when people feel like their decisions matter , they tend to take more
intiviative so yeah...
Something new, something differenent...not sure what...
