National youth week is a celebration for young people aged 12-25 with loads of activities of kids and free things to do all about South Australia.
Youth Week 2014 has the theme
Our Voice. Our Impact, and has nearly 100 events happening around the state which give youth an opportunity to get together, share ideas, showcase their talents, and just have fun. Many of the events are sponsored by local councils, so there will almost certainly be something happening in your local area.
In Adelaide CBD there's a conservation workshop at the Adelaide Zoo, the opening ceremony of the
Movement is My Medicine Festival at The Mill, and a debating tournament at Adelaide University.
South of Adelaide there's a free scooter and skateboard competition on Saturday April 12 at the
Avenue Road Skate Park , with heaps of prizes, a live DJ, pro rider judges, an air brush artist, face painting, and plenty of give-a-ways. There's free family entertainment, food, drink and information stalls, and plenty of free things to do for all ages. For more info and details about registration
