Youth Representative to the United Nations Consultation
We are incredibly pleased to announce that we will have the Australian Youth Representative to the United Nations visit us on the second day of the conference to run a consultation session with all delegates. This is a fantastic opportunity for the delegates to have their voice heard and be a part of representing the interests of young adults across the country.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR 2023
Theme
Like most of our events, Queensland State Conference is focused on developing leadership skills, and on discussing the ways we can make a difference in our local communities and the world.
The theme for State Conference 2023 is ‘Conflicts in the Modern Age’
What’s Involved?
State Conference is a three day residential event that offers passionate students in Years 9 – 12 with a unique opportunity to meet like-minded people from all across Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
The conference centres on understanding and discussing important global issues through workshops and interactive problem solving activities. There are also plenty of fun games to play, and a myriad of opportunities to both network and relax.
The UN Youth Queensland State Conference also hosts a day of Model UN debate. Students will spend some time acting as a diplomat – doing their best to pass resolutions that will benefit the global community and align with their national interests.
