You will hear from their Young Consultants, a group of young people who work to bring an entirely fresh perspective to organisations and offer unique insights which can change thinking, in real-time.
This training session is based on the CBA's ongoing work to embed youth governance and youth voice within the organisation. You can find out more about our plans for the next six months and how to get involved here: Project Overview.
