Youth Conferences Throughout ANSA Qld

Youth Conferences Throughout A.N.S.A. Qld

At our State Wide Conference in Yeppoon in 2008 one of the questions raised was WHERE ARE THE YOUTH OF TODAY? With the help of two junior members, who did attend, we were able to ascertain that today’s youth are still very active in the fishing fraternity but their perceived concept of A.N.S.A. was it seemed to be stale and needed to be brought in to the 21^st century.

It was decided at the conference a series of youth conferences should be set up and implemented throughout the state to allow a mingling of the OLD (crusties) and the NEW (newbies) and get some communication lines open between these two sectors to generate more interest in A.N.S.A. and its practices. The way these workshops would run would be to bring together the fishers, and in particular the youth of an area, regardless of whether they are members of A.N.S.A. or not, and to pass on knowledge within an organized format.
