These included racism and prejudice; political, religious and economic division; world conflict; indigenous perspectives; minority groups; Australian and world-wide response to refugees; climate change and its impact on our environment; sustainability; education and imagining the future; the role of the Arts; money and ethical business. There were such insightful and passionate discussions that took place amongst these young people and many described it as a life-changing life-changing experience.
