So, if you think you know what's fake and what's not let’s put that knowledge to the test.

Join us on the 12^th of August and show us what you’ve got.

What is Actually Happening???

In partnership with Azure Beach High School, six youth leaders will lead an interactive trivia/quiz tournament that will cover our local/national events, UN Sustainability goals and digital techniques that have been warped by misinformation. The quiz was created by our very own youth leaders over the last five months in collaboration with the Azure Beach Public Library and the event is to be MC by a member of our NSW Youth UN.

Our community will be challenged as they take on the forces of misinformation. This is open to all of our community but especially our incredible Youth, any participant can join the quiz with any digital device that they can bring from home or be supplied by the library. Participants will be encouraged to critically analyse information and find creative solutions to using digital systems. 

There are plenty of prizes to be won for those who can best our quiz.

Youthful Visioning for Future Sustainability

As we stand at a crossroad of technological and environmental transformation. It’s now up to our youth to vision a sustainable future.

 

In celebration of International Youth Day 2024, Azure Beach Public Library is excited to announce the Youth Pathways to a Sustainable Future Exhibition, featuring a vibrant Podcast and Digital Poster Competition. Azure Beach Public Library has teamed up with local high schools and is encouraging all students in Years 7 to 10 to deal with unprecedented critical global challenges using their knowledge and skills for creativity and digital technology. Whether it’s about innovation for sustainability, celebrating digital advancements or developing digital knowledge in response to widespread environmental challenges and sustainable solutions, this Competition aims to empower our youth to lead the way.

 

Participants are encouraged to submit a digital poster or recorded podcast that visually communicates digital knowledge, skills and tools that can contribute to digital pathways for sustainable development. All entries will be showcased as part of a special exhibition at the Azure Beach Public Library, from 13 August to 30 September 2024.

 

Dr Annabelle Crouch from Woolcox University will be a keynote speaker at the Exhibition’s opening event on 12 August. Dr Crouch will highlight the importance of youth involvement in visioning and shaping our sustainability efforts. The finalists and winners of each category will also be announced, as well the screening of their creative works.

 

We encourage educators, parents and carers and community members to support our young people in this initiative. We look forward to seeing the incredible entries in paving a way for a more sustainable future together.
