Youth Connect - create, play, enjoy activities across the region

YouthConnect250Stuck for things to do? Reckon there's nothing exciting happening in your town? Don't despair, there's a new monthly events program coming to towns around the Toowoomba region from November 2011.

Youth Connect is a fresh activity program devised by council's Youth Development team to give young people a range of interesting sessions and workshops to enjoy.

Bring your friends and meet new people at free activities to be held each month at venues to be notified across the Toowoomba region.

The program is designed as an interactive youth forum.

The catch phrase ― create, play, enjoy ― neatly summarises the program goals and ideals.

Get your community involved and join the program with events initially scheduled for Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights. 

Team members are planning a range of activities including:

  • indoor/outdoor movie nights
  • games nights
  • live music nights
  • discos
  • art, craft, music workshops

November's opening round of activities includes free movie screenings with council's outdoor movie screen popping up in parks across the region.

Sessions are planned for Toowoomba, Millmerran, Cambooya, Westbrook, Oakey, Goombungee, Pittsworth, Highfields, Crows Nest, Cooyar, Cecil Plains, Clifton and Kingsthorpe.

Stay up to date by following out upcoming events rss stream below, or on our facebook page.

In October, budding musicians are encouraged to sign up for music workshops at Oakey, Pittsworth and Toowoomba. Each day's instruction runs from 10am to 4pm.

You can:

  • meet Oakey singer/songwriter Megan Achilles when she hosts The Power of Music workshops, teaching song writing basics to interested musicians.
  • join in the activity sessions, no experience necessary.

Everyone who attends will receive a CD of their recorded material.

More details can be found in the TRC Events Register.

Down the track, team members will be seeking ideas and input about future workshops.

The team is keen to work with young people to deliver activities that you want.

If you have any ideas or suggestions about activities you would like to see or join, please email us or contact us via the Facebook page.
