What was the 2020 Youth Summit?
The 2020 Youth Summit was held in the lead up to the Australia 2020 Summit . The Youth Summit was held in Canberra, at Parliament House on 12 and 13 April 2008 and was co-chaired by the Minister for Youth, the Hon Kate Ellis MP and Hugh Evans, Young Australian of the Year for 2004.
The ten critical areas of discussion at the Youth Summit were:
- The productivity agenda - education, skills, training, science and innovation;
- Infrastructure - economic infrastructure, the digital economy and the future of our cities
- Population, sustainability, climate change, water and the future of our cities;
- Future directions for rural industries and rural communities;
- A long-term national health strategy – including the challenges of preventative health, workforce planning and the ageing population;
- Strengthening communities, supporting families and social inclusion;
- Options for the future of indigenous Australia;
- Towards a creative Australia: the future of the arts, film and design;
- The future of Australian governance: renewed democracy, a more open government (including the role of the media), the structure of the Federation and the rights and responsibilities of citizens; and
- Australia’s future security and prosperity in a rapidly changing region and world.
