Youth Conversations Research Report: Executive Summary

This publication is an 8pp Executive Summary of the full Youth Conversations Report (DOI: 10.26187/5321-pc06). During 2019 and 2020, the Youth Conversations initiative involved over 700 young people between the ages of 12 and 19 living in six local government areas (LGAs) across the Great South Coast of Victoria: Colac Otway, Corangamite, Glenelg, Moyne, Southern Grampians and Warrnambool. It offered a forum whereby Great South Coast young people could articulate their thoughts and expectations about education, training and future employment. The young people were also invited to talk about how they connected with local community and how these communities could better meet the needs of young people. The overarching question guiding Youth Conversations was: what matters to young people living in the Great South Coast region with regards to education, training, employment and community?
