YOH FEST!...but not as you know it
2020 has been a unique year that has seen us enter a new paradigm of social dynamic and practice. Never before has it been so important to give voice to those who are marginalized and isolated. Support for the mental and social health of young people has never been more paramount than right now.
YOH FEST has traditionally been placed to address this niche, with a festival that promotes health messages to a young state-wide audience; with thousands of school aged participants devising performances and visual arts works.
It has always been a unique forum for sharing the voice of young people. Moving forward it is essential to record and preserve the experience, challenges, discoveries and messages of today’s young people for prosperity.
With all the restrictions that came into place during 2020; we came up with an alternative platform for YOH FEST in the form of an on-line digital showcase : The Act-Belong-Commit YOH ‘Screen’ Fest and changed the theme to ‘ISOLATION’
We asked participants to get creative with the Arts; using the tools available to them to - record their art form, edit it, then send in their creations.
The Act-Belong-Commit health theme for 2020#Isolation
Never has it been more important to discuss the importance of good health, wellbeing and lifestyle habits, as it is now. COVID-19 has impacted people on an international scale with most of us unexpectedly and suddenly experiencing enforced isolation - in some form or another.
We ask participants to tell us their personal stories around Isolation. Tell us what it looks like for you, and how you stay mentally healthy - during these unprecedented times for us.
