QLD Global Youth Summit Student Advisory Council
The 2023 Queensland Global Youth Summit and accompanying workshops kick off in July and bring together Year 8 to 10 students from various schools to foster global competence. The program consists of four synchronous online workshops and several asynchronous learning activities. The program will culminate in an all-day, in-person Summit for students.
The Summit and workshops are designed to enhance students' knowledge and understanding of global competence, perspectives, diversity, the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, effective communication, collaboration, and presentation skills. Throughout the program, students will consider how they can "think globally, act locally" by developing a range of actions to promote inclusivity and equity in their local school communities, which they will showcase at the Summit in October.
