Moorabool Youth Forum and Awards night

Moorabool Council will host a Youth Forum and Awards night on Tuesday, November 17.

Moorabool’s Youth Council is inviting Moorabool young people, their families and the community to join a celebration of young people and their achievements at the 2022 Moorabool Youth Forum and Youth Awards.

The Moorabool Youth Forum is planned and delivered by young people with the support of

council’s Youth Services team for young people and the community and will take place from 6pm at the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall.

This year’s theme is “be Odd-inary”, encouraging young people to embrace their individuality, to have confidence in themselves and to embrace their uniqueness.

There will be music, performances, entertainers, prizes, and a photo booth.

Luke S. Kennedy will deliver the keynote speech for the event. Mr Kennedy is an accomplished mental health advocate and bestselling author whose presentation about the importance of being yourself aims to instil deep changes in the resilience, motivation, mental health, confidence, and self-awareness of his audience.

The 2022 Youth Awards will be presented at the Moorabool Youth Forum, celebrating young people aged between 13 to 25 years who have made a significant contribution within the community. The winners will be awarded plaques acknowledging their contribution to their community.
