Youth Week WA (formerly National Youth Week WA), is an annual statewide celebration of the positive contributions of young people to our community throughout Western Australia. More than 100 events take place across the State each year, many of which have received a Youth Week WA grant provided by the State Government of Western Australia through the Department of Communities.

This festival is produced by Propel Youth Arts WA

The Youth Week WA 2022 theme is

Courage to Change
Booraka Korangan-ak

Courage to Change is about empowering young people to shape decision-making, enact change and imagine the futures we wish to inhabit.

Courage to Change was decided in consultation amongst Creative Coordinator Noemie Huttner-Koros, the Youth Week WA Planning Committee, and Noongar translation by Kadjin Project Officer Kobi Arthur Morrison.

“Courage to Change – Booraka Korangan-ak is a call to action, to boldly and with care imagine a future grounded in regenerative solutions and mutual healing, to take those difficult first steps together. Once. And then again and again. ”

– KickstART 2022 Creative Coordinator, Noemie Huttner-Koros.
