What: In the era of mass communication it is not surprising that many young people tend to be cynical about their leaders. When they receive a daily update about dishonest or self-interested public figures, their expectations quickly lower. Unfortunately, this can also make it more difficult for young people to believe that it is possible for them to ultimately behave differently. The Forum has been designed to help re-inspire and elevate expectations about leadership, and is designed as a four-day program held at the end of a parliamentary sitting week in Brisbane. It is made up of a variety of activities beginning at lunchtime on Thursday and concluding before lunch on Sunday.
