BAYSWATER council is helping youngsters reconnect with nature in a series of workshops for Youth Week, April 5 – 124. 

The workshops are being held in the city’s green spaces and are aimed at inspiring young people aged 12 to 25 to express their creativity, learn sustainable life skills and connect with others. 

Deputy mayor Elli Petersen-Pik said the City’s Youth Week celebrations aimed to create a sense of belonging in local young people. 

“These workshops are a great way for young people living, studying or working in the City of Bayswater to meet like-minded people and explore the City’s picturesque natural environments,” he said. 

“Young people can choose to enjoy a photography workshop at Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary, a birds of prey meet and greet with an after-dark walk through Lightning Swamp Bushland, or learn how to create their very own take-home veggie garden. 

“By fostering connections with other local young people and the environment, the City is working to encourage mental wellbeing and civic engagement in our younger community members. “
