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.

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’

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.

Feedback from Previous Delegates

Here’s what Delegates from past State Conferences have had to say:

“I liked having my stance challenged, getting better informed, and having my perspectives changed by others.”

“I loved absolutely everything! Everyone who attended was amazing, the facs were awesome and I can’t wait to do some more Model UN”

“I loved that all the facilitators were so friendly and entertaining; it made everyone much more comfortable and was a good ice breaker. The types of debates we had were really interesting and new for me, and it was great to debate with such enthusiastic and knowledgeable people.”

“My awareness and knowledge for current affairs had increased drastically over those few days of Summit! I was able to chat to anyone about anything, give my opinion on a certain topic and discuss things that I had never talked about before!”

“Other delegates were so friendly and cool to hang with”

It was an absolutely fantastic weekend!”
