In December I am speaking in the Office for Youth’s week long programme, Involve in Adelaide. My talk is called ‘How can we Transform Creative Cultures into a Creative Economy? ‘ and reflects on some of the changes in popular culture that support young people to become media creators and producers ‚Äì the myspace generation. It will then describe the impact of initiatives around the world, of which the Northern Sound System in Playford, S.A. is one example where Government and education policy have tried to offer young people more structured training in the cultural industries. The talk will look at these changing trends and opportunities and explore how Adelaide might build policies to develop a broader and more sustainable creative economy for young people in the future.

Hello Julian
I run a youth program called GreenRoom out of the Adelaide Festival Centre, South Australia. I see that you are familiar with Adelaide having visited last December for a government forum.
I am interested in any research you have done about engaging youth in the arts and best practice (things that have worked) and youth trends and how to utilise them when communicating with them.
If you can help me that would be greatly appreciated!
warm regards
