PEOPLE in the region will begin to see messages of kindness being displayed around the region for people to enjoy as part of Victorian Youth Week 2021.
Greater Shepparton City Council were the proud recipients of a State Government $2,000 Victorian Youth Week grant that made the Young People Activate Kindness project possible. Victorian Youth Week is an annual event aimed at celebrating the talents, achievements and contributions of young people to their community.
The Young People Activate Kindness project encouraged young people, aged between 12 to 25 years, to create a message of kindness which could be shared with community members in need of some positive support.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe, said “This is a fantastic collaborative and creative project which brought together local young people to express themselves and share their positive thoughts and messages – a true sign of the incredible community spirit that surrounds us”
Young artist, Rafiki, a student at GOTAFE said about her kindness piece, “I started and stopped and restarted again. Flowers seemed to symbolise kindness.”
