What we achieved
Community has a great opportunity to substantially support young people's learning and at the same time advance council's current model of youth participation. The Big Cake was an opportunity to explore how young people might advance the work we do.
World Cafe workshops asked participants to consider three key areas around voice, knowledge and action.
World Cafe Scenarios
The information gathered will inform this community of the current status of youth participation across the City of Port Phillip and enable greater focus and direction for future development.
