Adolescence is challenging anywhere, but how is it that young people in the Netherlands despite long winters and freezing temperatures are consistently the happiest in the world?
Most young people in the Netherlands eat better, watch less television, have kind and helpful classmates and are in the bottom five across the OECD for being overweight, having sex before 15, and feeling pressure from schoolwork. They are less unlikely to experience addiction, bullying and generally find it easy to talk to parents.
Adelaide and South Australia take pride in being designed for 'the good life', so what are we missing and what might we do better so our young people flourish.
To help us explore how to make Adelaide and South Australia the best place in the world to be a young person, the AIUS SA will bring together a panel of leaders to discuss public policy, urban design, and the future of jobs and opportunities for young people.
AIUS SA President Trish Hansen, will host conversations with year 12 student Billy Zimmermann, Anthropologist and Collective Impact Leader, Froukje Jongsma, Sandra Robinson - CEO of Together SA, and Jodie Van Deventer - CEO of the Committee for Adelaide.
This is a networking event. A free drink and nibbles will be provided.
A Certificate of Attendance for continuing professional development (CPD) purposes can be provided upon request.
