Nexus, Interface, and Democratic Renewal

By Miriam Lyons - posted Thursday, 28 February 2002


A festival of ideas on the future of Australia’s media, democracy, and education

A cross between a conference and an explosion, Interface will be a vibrant, dynamic expression of the fact that this generation is full of energy, ideas, and enthusiasm about Australia’s future. It might just change the way this country views its young people.

This will be the first time that Sydney’s student/youth population will have the opportunity to organise and attend a non-partisan conference that explores new ideas from a broad range of perspectives on democracy, education, and the media. Participants will have the chance to interact with and influence policy makers, media workers, and educators – giving us a chance to understand the systems that affect our lives, as well as providing us with some of the skills needed to participate in them later in life.

Featuring panels, workshops, film screenings, an IT training space, focus groups, a youth-sector summit, and Slip~stitch, a cross-campus competition of political artwork.

All welcome. We mean all. We want to throw together first-years, activists, creative young policy thinkers, politicians, jaded ex-politicians, journalists, artists, independent and commercial media makers, youth workers, NGO staff, postgrad students, local council employees, bureaucrats, academics, culture jammers and advertising workers and see what happens.

Interface

will explode on the 20th April, 2002, and will continue to create an intellectual fire-hazard over two days at the Quay St campus of UTS, Sydney.

In case of emergency please contact the safety officer, Miriam Lyons, at miriamlyons@email.com or 0402429314. (Emergencies include the sudden, burning desire to get involved, propose a topic, find out more, or register to attend).

***************************

If you would like to find out more about Nexus, get involved, or be added to our mailing list, please contact the campus coordinator Naomi Blackburn at nexus_campus@email.com or 0413 404 209
