Nexus, Interface, and Democratic Renewal

A cross between a conference and an explosion, Interface will be a vibrant, dynamic expression of the fact that this generation is full of energy, ideas, and enthusiasm about Australia’s future. It might just change the way this country views its young people.

This will be the first time that Sydney’s student/youth population will have the opportunity to organise and attend a non-partisan conference that explores new ideas from a broad range of perspectives on democracy, education, and the media. Participants will have the chance to interact with and influence policy makers, media workers, and educators – giving us a chance to understand the systems that affect our lives, as well as providing us with some of the skills needed to participate in them later in life.

Featuring panels, workshops, film screenings, an IT training space, focus groups, a youth-sector summit, and Slip~stitch, a cross-campus competition of political artwork.

All welcome. We mean all. We want to throw together first-years, activists, creative young policy thinkers, politicians, jaded ex-politicians, journalists, artists, independent and commercial media makers, youth workers, NGO staff, postgrad students, local council employees, bureaucrats, academics, culture jammers and advertising workers and see what happens.

In case of emergency please contact the safety officer, Miriam Lyons, at miriamlyons@email.com or 0402429314. (Emergencies include the sudden, burning desire to get involved, propose a topic, find out more, or register to attend).
