Youth Week 2016 Focus: Shoreshocked

Answered by: Laura Crowe (Willoughby Council)

Give a brief description of the event: Shoreshocked is a FREE all ages musical festival and good vibes* extravaganza featuring Art Of Sleeping, Hockey Dad, E^ST, A.D.K.O.B and more!
*good vibes subject to participant stoke levels and may vary from person to person.

How is the Council embracing this year's Youth Week slogan 'It Starts With Us'? We understand that young people need a place to be seen and heard. We've made sure they're involved with Shoreshocked from beginning to end, particularly on the day. So make sure to come and support our local talent!

What else is the Council planning for Youth Week? The Northern Sydney Councils are doing it all — sports comps, dances, parties, seminars. Hit up your local council to get the lowdown.

Doing something for Youth Week is great, but how else does the council help out young people the rest of the year? Northern Sydney councils run drop-in centres, outreach programs, educational seminars, health programs, support groups and heaps of other stuff. Most importantly though we listen, we advocate and we help young people to find their voice, then teach them to shout.

When and where is your Youth Week event? 16 Apr, St Leonards Oval, 10.30am-5pm
