Throughout September, a variety of events and activities have been organised across the state, giving young Victorians a chance to express their ideas and views and act on issues that affect their lives.

Victoria’s Youth Fest is a month-long celebration, highlighting the contributions and achievements of young people in their communities.

Brimbank mayor Ranka Rasic said the festival is packed full of events for all young people to enjoy.

“We celebrate and bring together the diverse and wonderful young people in our community during Youth Fest,” she said.

“I strongly encourage Brimbank’s young people to check out the schedule of free events that are running throughout September. There’s lots of great things happening, and there is sure to be something for everyone.”

One event set to roll through Brimbank this month is the Skateboard art workshop for those aged 12 to 25. It will be held on Monday, September 30, from 9.30am to 12pm at the Delahey Community Centre, and the Hunt Club Community and Arts Centre from 1.30pm to 4pm.
