Youth Forum - Have your say!

Wednesday, August 19, 2009


It's not always easy being a young person in today's society.  You see the problems the world, your community, your school and your family are faced with, but sometimes it's easy to feel like no one listens and no one cares.

When we say Big Exo Day is about you, we mean it!  We want to provide you with a voice and a connection to people who make the big decisions, so that your ideas and suggestions can make a difference.  We're bringing the Australian Youth Forum to you.

The Australian Youth Forum is a Commonwealth Government initiative, designed to find out what young people in Australia have to say about the issues in their world.  Do you have something you'd like to say about violence and safety, responsibility and being part of the community, body image or alcohol and drug abuse?  Big Exo Day offers you an opportunity to do just that.  The forum will be conducted over the course of the day, in various zones, so be sure to highlight them in your program.  The forum will be hosted by some friendly and familiar faces and there will also be plenty of giveaways.  That's right, we want to reward you for stepping out and telling us what you think because we know that takes guts.  Don't miss this valuable opportunity to give your opinions, advice and suggestions to some powerful and influential people in Government.

And if you like, why not start right now. Post a comment!!

At The Big Exo Day 09 the Misfit team are setting up a LIVE SHAPING BAY!! where Dave will be shaping surfboards by hand.
