Please see what the Youth of Tuggeranong have concerns about. The TCC Youth Engagement Forum has been run annually since 2017 (with the support of Communities at Work) where we invite students from each high school and college in Tuggeranong to come and give their opinions on various topics. These topics are decided by the committee who look at the results of our annual Youth Survey for guidance. It was a very productive Forum with table facilitators from many government departments being actively involved
We had comments back from the students e.g. “Made me feel more free to talk *****Need more stuff like this thby would join the community!!”, “Didn’t expect this to be this fun”, “Very good, I feel heard” plus others (see below) that showed it to be a very worthwhile event – they wanted to be heard!
All feedback provided from the participants will be collated and a summary report provided to all participating schools. The summary will be circulated to relevant ACT Government Directorates, where applicable. The Tuggeranong Community Council will also incorporate overarching themes into submissions provided to the ACT Government and advocate on behalf of young people within the region.
