At the recent 2020 Youth Summit, 100 engaged, passionate, and diverse young Australians produced a heap of fantastic ideas for the future!

These ideas were then collected into a report or ‘communiqué', to be used as a starting point for discussion at the broader Australia 2020 Summit.

The communiqué draws attention to an ‘agenda of priorities’ set by the Youth Summit. The proposals contained in the agenda are practical and achievable.

Amongst the 100 delegates at the 2020 Youth Summit were Indigenous Australians, refugees, migrants, and second, third, fourth or more generation Australians. There were young mothers, people with disabilities, exceptionally gifted students and young carers. The young people were of various faiths and cultures. They were from the country; they were from the city. They brought their voices, experiences and energy to the task of formulating a national vision for 2020.
