Community & YOUTH Conversations

 

From October 2016 to June 2017 we spoke with people from all across our community to learn about our region's passions, aspirations, concerns and ideas to determine our Community Aspirations for change.

We also introduced Project Y, which aimed to hear what local youth have to say about living in the Mildura LGA.

Youth were reached through youth-to-youth conversations, social media, and storytelling workshops.

Voices of Children

In 2019, Hands Up Mallee and the Mildura Rural City Council (MRCC) Early Years Planning Team, with the help of Early Years Educators and friends, set out to ask children aged 3-8, who live in the Northern Mallee, what they did and didn’t like, and what they wanted for their future. The project aimed to hear from at least 375 children aged 3-8 Years, who live in the Mildura LGA.

Through partnerships with educators and children’s service providers the project reached over 450 children, with 375 giving us their consent to use their thoughts and creative works to help shape our community into a better place for everyone.
