Published on 12 April 2019
Six students from Benalla Rural City participated in the 2019 Youth Politics Camp from 8-10 April, held in Harrietville, learning how to influence change, about different levels of government and meeting key people. The Youth Politics Camp is a collaboration between five Councils across north east Victoria including Benalla Rural City Council, Alpine Shire, Strathbogie Shire, Indigo Shire and Towong Shire. Young people were given the opportunity to meet guest speakers from a range of different levels of government, including Cathy McGowan in her last official engagement as an MP. The Youth Politics Camp has provided a pathway for young people to be involved in Youth Parliament, a program designed to give young Victorians between 16-25 years a chance to be heard at the highest levels of State Government.
