VICTORIAN Youth Week wrapped up last weekend, celebrating young people, who they are, their passions, the things they do in the community, and the differences they make.<\/p>\n

Through Instagram, City of Ballarat Youth Services developed a virtual way for the area\u2019s young people to share their diverse lives with one another through video, as part of these celebrations.<\/p>\n

Youth Services coordinator, Katja Fiedler said this daily shout-out initiative via @ballaratyouthservices<\/strong> was a great way for them to share their own unique messages with one another, even if they couldn\u2019t meet face-to-face.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted young people to speak for themselves. We\u2019ve seen some incredible shout outs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe handed over the reins of our social media to our young people, to let them talk about who they are, what they do and care about, how they\u2019re looking after themselves, connecting to others and the environment, and if they also have a call to action for their peers.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, one of our volunteers is a DJ and has a passion about developing lighting shows. He whipped up an incredible presentation at home. We have such experts in different professional areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karissa Cribbes is active with the Centre for Multicultural Youth, and Ballarat Youth Services\u2019 Girl Space program which coordinates collaborative recreational opportunities.<\/p>\n

She delivered the first Instagram shout out, getting to share some things she enjoys doing and learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently I\u2019ve noticed an influx of workplace professionals going on YouTube to talk about their work,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like watching videos about doctors, and there\u2019s a fitness person that I watch who is a biophysicist, so she talks about everything behind fitness and how it works.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all so interesting, so I wanted to showcase that, and how much stuff is readily available if you look for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shout out was also a chance to think and talk about something that wasn\u2019t serious or worrying.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I look at the TV or go on Facebook and YouTube, there\u2019s stuff about what\u2019s going on with the virus, but I wanted to lighten the mood a bit and focus on something else.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people do search videos and learn things because of my shout out, that would be really great, Miss Cribbes said.<\/p>\n

Each young person\u2019s piece to camera has been different and \u201cinspiring,\u201d receiving positive feedback.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt shows there are so many people willing to encourage you. It\u2019s such a great community, especially with Ballarat Youth Services, because all the people there are so nice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve struggled not being able to go out and have the opportunities I used to, so getting messages, watching other people and sending them messages has been really uplifting,\u201d Miss Cribbes said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice for everyone to have a platform to speak and be heard by an audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Fiedler said it\u2019s been \u201cmind-blowing\u201d for Youth Services staff to discover new sides of the young people they work with.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve learned so much more about them, it\u2019s been really insightful for us. Some of the things they share in their shout outs has been super surprising and interesting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to work with these young people, day in, day out, and hopefully with all the videos, we can bring them all together into a bigger one that promotes young people in the community,\u201d she said.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
