It's with great pleasure that I write to promote the Vision Generation National Youth Summit. Applications are now open to any young person, youthworker from Victoria to attend - so if YOU want to find out more about how YOU can become your own solution to poverty - THIS SUMMIT IS FOR YOU!

Vision Generation (VGen) is the national youth movement of World Vision Australia, aiming to inspire, educate and empower young people in the fight against global poverty and injustice. It is essentially an interactive youth community that encourages young people to take up the mantle of global activism.

The Youth Summit will convene in September (22nd-24th) and will bring together eighty of Australia’s most passionate young global activists for three days of workshops and practical advocacy actions.

National Youth Summit delegates will explore the theme "Take It Personally."
Poverty and young people’s efforts in fighting poverty are things to be taken personally. This emphasis will encourage young people to realise the cycle of global poverty and respond out of personal and community resolve through their leadership of self and leadership in a global village. The Youth Summit will leave delegates with renewed motivation plus advocacy and leadership skills.
