“My space, your space, our space: exploring the future of adolescent health together”
With shifts in the equilibrium of the global environment, the redefinition of social contexts, the construction of virtual realities, and the power of new technologies, the future continues to offer new ways of:
- Belonging, participating, connecting and communicating
- Researching, analysing, integrating and synthesizing
- Assessing, screening, monitoring and treating
- Learning, creating, experiencing and expressing
This conference will focus on examining new knowledge and understandings around young people, and how we work towards improving their health and wellbeing.
Whether it’s medical imaging, social networking or online learning, its time to share knowledge and experience across professions, disciplines and sectors.
Who Should Attend
The conference program and pre conference forum is aimed at people who are working in, but not limited to the health, education, community, welfare and youth sectors. Most delegates will be practitioners such as teachers, doctors, nurses, counsellors, and others involved in youth advocacy, health promotion and community development, policy development and research.
