At the 2009 YPP, over a hundred young people will take over the chambers of Parliament House for three dynamic days of discussion and debate about the challenges of conflict and the possibilities of peace. You could be one!

For the first time this year, young people will participate in parallel activities to help shape those debates. Maybe you'd like to get involved in dramatic/music/dance performances, art displays, media production, research or creative lobbying. Whether you'd like to be a 'parliamentarian', a 'researcher', or an 'activist', if you have a flair for the arts, drama, music and dance, come along to the two preparatory workshops and start exploring the possiblities.

It's a free event, please tell us your thoughts on one of three topics:

1) Global Social Justice
2) Militarism
3) Community Peace and Harmony.

Workshop 1: June 27, 2009

Workshop 2: July 25, 2009

Parliament dates: 21, 22, 23 September
QLD's Parliament House
