YLab is a network of people creating a new way of working and learning to better meet the demands of a rapidly changing world. Our bread and butter is designing, not just consulting, the future with young people. As a YLab Associate I step into projects and bring my skills in production, facilitation, co-design and project management.Some of my favourite projects from the past year.Facilitating the 2018 Belonging Youth Forum with the City of Parramatta. A genuine heart-warmer with Parramatta's brightest young migrants on the complexity of belonging and developing strategies to facilitate belonging within their communities.Facilitating the 'Co-design Youth Week 2018' program with the City of Parramatta. A dozen young people from Parramatta got together to create the content for Parramatta Youth Week. This resulted in the Youth Week Comedy Night - https://riversideparramatta.com.au/show/youth-week-2018-comedy-festival/ I also keep the Sydney YLab team abreast with events in Sydney. Please get in contact if you think there's anything we would be interested in. Think events to hustle on social enterprise, start-ups, co-design and events created by and for young change-makers across Sydney.
