5 to 12 April

Youth Week WA (formerly National Youth Week WA), is an annual statewide celebration of the positive contributions of young people to our community throughout Western Australia. More than 100 events take place across the State each year, many of which have received a Youth Week WA grant provided by the State Government of Western Australia through the Department of Communities.

  • ‘Head, Body, Heart’ is the Youth Week WA theme for 2024.

    This theme will guide all Youth Week events, including the KickstART Festival, and serves as a reminder to take care of ourselves - our heads, bodies, and hearts - and to extend that care to others and the world around us.

    Our goal is to promote creativity and compassion, and to encourage everyone to be their best and most authentic selves. This year’s theme allows us to check in with ourselves and explore our experiences creatively. How do we feel in our heads, bodies, and hearts, and how do we want to express that today?

    The “Head, Body, Heart” theme emerged via consultation between the Propel team and the Youth Week WA Planning Committee.
