UN Youth NSW State Conference

Please note that this event is for students from Years 9 -12 only. If you’re interested in volunteering with UN Youth, you may be able to attend as a facilitator – please get in touch!

On 17-19 March 2017, more than 200 students from across the state will meet at The Collaroy Centre and take part in the global conversation. You’ll learn about leadership, diplomacy and advocacy. You will connect with issues that baffle the leaders of today and shape our national discourse. Perhaps most importantly, you will form friendships with a diverse array of students from all around NSW and become inspired to deliver change in your local communities, and eventually the world.

Theme: Multiculturalism in a World of Change
When, if ever, does our security take precedence over the rights of others?
How is promoting diversity still relevant in today’s world?
How can we improve the relationships between cultures in an increasingly multicultural society?

Recent years have produced plenty of conversation about multiculturalism. In an evolving world multiculturalism forms our attitudes to national identity, cultural cohesion, conflict, and personal beliefs. These effects change with the incorporation of other cultures into our own. One needs not look further than the refugee crisis to grasp the complexity of multiculturalism in a modern context, where concerns about economic capacity and security are contrasted against ideals of inclusion and humanitarianism.
