In 2020, most face-to-face meetings had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. This didn’t deter the CCYP Ambassadors! They worked together to create an online digital magazine, or zine, examining issues they’d like addressed to make their future Tasmania a better place. The Ambassadors explored three key topics: climate change and the environment, mental health, and equity and diversity, through a range of media. Artists at art and social change organisation, Big hART helped to pull their contributions together into an amazing zine that the Ambassadors presented to Tasmania’s leaders and decision makers on 25 September, 2020 at our CCYP Ambassador Statewide Event.
View Future Tasmania to gain an insight into the thoughts and ideas young Tasmanians have for their state and for their future.
