Future Caretakers at the Fullarton Park Community Centre

Future Caretakers, supported by Unley Council, is a series of youth-focused forums exploring major megatrends—significant global shifts expected to shape the coming decades, which today’s young people will inherit and need to act on.

The event was held on Thursday 30 November, with 110 Year 10 and 11 students from five local schools being represented: Walford Anglican School for Girls, Unley High School, Glenunga International High School, Cabra Dominican College, and Concordia College, with 16 of our Year 10 students in attendance.

Students selected from topics including Health Care and Wellbeing, Housing and Lifestyle, Social Connection and Loneliness, and Global Power and Economics. The day was facilitated with great energy by a team from SA Futures Agency.

Participants were confronted with challenging statistics such as one in six Australian children live in poverty, and nearly a quarter of Australia’s homeless population are children. Throughout the forum, students were encouraged to imagine South Australia’s future and consider how we might build the capabilities, communities and cultures needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Special thanks to Unley Council for their continued investment in forums to hear the voices of our young people.
