25.01.2022 How does the freedom of the press impact political and social empowerment? How does it change democracy? And finally, how does it affect you?

25.01.2022 HAPPY MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and according to the Australian Governments National Health Survey in 2017-2018, one in five individuals was reported to having a mental health illness. And we know this has only risen since the uncertainty and stress of COVID-19 has been present. In these uncertain times, we know it can make people feel even more isolated and harder to reach out for support.... This is your reminder it is ok to not be okay, and it's ok to ask for help. Check-in with yourself and your loved ones. Take that break for self-care, or start that conversation with someone you trust that you have been putting off. And know your feelings are valid and you are not alone! RESOURCES . QLD Mental Health Services: https://www.qld.gov.au/he/mental-health/help-lines/services .

23.01.2022 UN Youth Queensland Inc. is the Queensland division of UN Youth Australia, a national youth-led organisation that aims to educate and empower young Australians on global issues facing the world. Our broad range of sector-leading peer-education programs educate over 15,000 young Australians each year from across every state and territory. UN Youth Queensland prides itself on recruiting and supporting the best and most passionate of young people. We’re looking for volunteers wh...o will seek to challenge themselves and inspire those around them. The Executive is the management committee of UN Youth Queensland Inc. - responsible for the day-to-day management and direction of the organisation. In addition to managing their own portfolios, each member of the Executive has a responsibility to scrutinize and oversee the organization. Executive members generally meet fortnightly and are expected to be responsive to emails throughout the week. Workload for Executive members will vary, and is sensitive to the ebbs and flows of a university workload, but between their committee work and portfolio commitments, Executive members should expect to spend a minimum of 5-15 hours per week on their role - in addition to any other commitments they choose to take on in the organisation (like facilitation). General executive committee work involves scrutinising budgets, assessing risk, managing the appointment of certain positions, discussing strategy and direction, and providing input on key issues affecting the organisation. As the leadership team of the organisation, most Executive roles require supporting and managing other volunteers and collaborating with other portfolios. As such, our ideal nominees are suited to working in dynamic and professional environments. Importantly, not all positions require experience with the organisation. You do not need to have facilitated with UN Youth to be on the UN Youth Queensland executive. No prior experience with UN Youth, or knowledge of the United Nations, is required. Applicants must be under 25 years of age. This is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to build their administrative experience, and work in a safe environment designed for young people. All necessary training will be provided. Any costs incurred in your duty as a volunteer will be reimbursed. Volunteering with UN Youth Queensland is enormously rewarding - giving you the opportunity to meet young leaders from all across the country and become a part of one of Australia's largest youth organisations. All roles are flexible, and can be managed around study and work commitments. To apply, follow the instructions in this position description document: https://docs.google.com//1BzLmZEd6FVSj0boHjswZJWytzh/edit All applications should be sent to [email protected] and [email protected]

With programs and events designed for youth empowerment and real leadership in yo...uth education, you will not only develop your professional skills but have the opportunity to make friends across the country and inspire the next generation of young Australians. Any further questions about facilitator training please email our Human Resource Director Nicky ([email protected]) or for general inquiries about the organization, you can email either me ([email protected]) or our president Annika ([email protected]). We cannot wait to see you all there!
