After Covid hit pause on Youth Week events last year, preparations for Albany’s youth to celebrate the 2021 festivities are coming to life.
Running from April 9 to April 16, Youth Week is an annual state-wide celebration of the positive contributions young people make to our community.
In line with this year’s theme of Our Path, Albany’s Youth Week events acknowledge the importance of our youth coming together to create a community which will empower the future direction of Albany.
The City of Albany has partnered with multiple agencies to create a full calendar of events which will include workshops, a movie and games night, live performances and more for youth aged 10-25 years.
Cloudy with a Chance of Music festival arrives at Eyre Park on April 10, bringing the area alive with creative workshops, basketball competitions, summer skate sessions, market stalls and live music.
Acting Manager Community Development, Engagement and Events Rani Param said Youth Week is a fantastic opportunity for youth to get involved in the community.
“We ensure that Albany’s youth are deeply involved in the planning and delivery of these events, and it’s great to see them take on the challenge so willingly every year,” she said.
“The youth of Albany represent such a diverse group of people, so having their input into the Youth Week program holds a lot of value.”
Albany’s Youth Week events are inclusive of all abilities, race, cultural background, religions, sexuality and gender; with most of the activities at no, or low cost.
