National Conversation: Mapping the Future is a programme of meetings, incubator and planning sessions, forums and presentations. Participants will network and engage with artists, arts workers, arts managers, producers, educators, academics and those interested in creating arts and cultural practitioners working with children and young people across the country.
If you're a young and emerging arts worker, youth arts organisation, arts company with youth programs, a local, state and territory government agencies, or just someone who is passionate about promoting and enhancing the cultural lives of children and young people, then you should be heading along to your nearest YPAA session.
National Conversation is a chance to meet other people passionate about youth arts, share ideas and hear about the outcomes of YPAA's recent National Symposium. The subsequent conversations will inform YPAA's 2011 programme and strategic plan.
