Power Shift 2010 – Youth Summit for Climate Change and #Sustainability
The Australian Youth Climate Coalition is a coalition of Australia’s largest youth organisations and over 50,000 young people from across Australia. Their mission is to build a generation wide movement to solve climate change before it’s too late, through bringing about short term political impact and long term cultural change.
AYCC plan an innovative youth summit to be held in  Geelong that hopes to change the way young people see the climate crisis. Offering new skills, connecting with other awesome people and giving you the power to make a difference.
Come to Power Shift 2010 in Geelong from to August 14 to 15.
Why now? Because there will be a federal election in the next few months and at the moment, neither major political party has a strong climate policy.
That’s just not good enough! The AYCC has a positive, achievable vision for Australia’s renewable energy future, and Power Shift will give us the skills to turn this into reality.
Shift the power to a clean, sustainable future, and tell me more about Power Shift 2010.
Power Shift is part conference, part festival, part training, part celebration of the power of young people to change the world, and so much more. Listen to amazing keynote speakers, participate in hands on workshops, connect with people from your region, hear live music and make new friends. Join a generation-wide movement and gain the new skills, resources and networks you need to lead creative climate actions in your community.
AYCC can’t announce the speakers just yet, but last year they had Al Gore (via video), Tim Flannery, Senators Nick Xenophon and Christine Milne and Brooke Satchwell from Neighbours.
