YOUTH EVENTS TEAM

The City of Darwin’s LAUNCH Youth Events Team produces events by and for young people in the Darwin area. The program is open to young people aged 15-25 who enjoy –

·         learning new skills
·         connecting with new people
·         giving young artists the opportunity to have their talents seen
·         creating events that have people talking for days afterward
·         coming up with fun ideas and making them happen
·         working with amazing creative industry professionals
·         contributing to the Darwin community

The events team will design and deliver 3 pop up events between June and December 2016. There will also be opportunities for work experience, mentoring and volunteering on other community and council events. At the end of 2016 participants can either choose to graduate from the program or continue on and work together with the support of LAUNCH to create their own event/s for Youth Week 2017. Three paid positions will also be offered to emerging producers to deliver Youth Week events. These opportunities will be open to participants of LAUNCH youth events training.
