YEP has a vision to transform the landscape of youth engagement. How do we do that? www.youthengagementproject.com
We empower educators, organisations and speakers to unleash their influence, engage audiences and drive meaningful change. Youth Engagement Project is a not-for-profit organisation that provides training and support for those who work with young people, including teachers, schools, outdoor educators, youth engagement officers, youth organisations, councils, and government departments.

Young people will rarely 'shop around' to repeat a conversation...
If it doesn't go well, they often won't try it again.
How we respond matters so much - care and curiosity are key.
Stay present and keep the door open so they return again and again ♥️

We hear things like this every day.
The stories we tell about a generation shape the way we engage with them.
The beliefs we hold, are reflected in our interactions.
Sometimes a shift in perspective is one of the most powerful tools we have at our disposal.
What’s a shift you’d like to see in the way we talk about young people?

Really felt the need to share this as it’s of the most encouraging conversations we’ve had in a long time 💛
A client shared that while many organisations are cutting training and development during budget season (we’re all in the thick of it!) they’re actually increasing theirs 🤯🙏🏽 whattttttttt!
Not because they have endless money (the dream!) but because they understand that in service-based work, people are the strategy.
When organisations stop investing in their teams, it eventually shows everywhere else too. The best organisations that we’ve had the privilege of working with understand this: Training and professional development isn’t an expense to survive without, it’s an investment that shapes everything you do!
If you are looking for some training and that is NO cost, join us for our free webinar happening next week, Thursday May 14th from 4-5pm - it’s all about supporting our current generation of young people. Limited spots left 💕

We are so thrilled to announce the safe arrival of our newest YEP team member, Amanda’s beautiful boy Oliver “Ollie.”
is already the best mum in the world (of course) and we couldn’t be prouder of her.
Things Ollie will learn: that his mum never sneezes less than three times in a row, she’s a condiment queen (two gravy’s minimum), no one will advocate for him more strongly or protect him more fiercely, she’s the perfect combination of book smart and street smart, she has the biggest heart of anyone you’ll ever meet.
Congratulations Amanda and Joe, and welcome to parenthood - Ollie has won the parent lottery 🥰💕
Swipe to slide 2 to see our succession plan in action 😂

Such a privilege to be invited to speak at the Community Languages Victoria Teachers’ Summit at Monash University across the weekend!
In our session, we welcomed over 200 educators in person and online with 470 attendees across the event 💛🥳 what a day!!
The session focused on student engagement and storytelling in practice, looking at how we can implement and embed storytelling to boost engagement and help create environments that meet psychological needs.
The energy across the day was inspiring - so many educators giving up their time to learn about enhancing their practice for the benefit of their students.
Thanks for having us CLV!
