16 – 24 Apr 2007: Vibewire.net e-Festival of Ideas
11 April, 2007
Vibewire.net has taken the stale old conference model and rebooted it, bringing it online and democratising it. Their e-Festival of Ideas gives everyone the chance to get the lowdown on some of today’s most compelling issues and to contribute their perspective and opinions.
Held in conjunction with National Youth Week 2007, the e-Festival of Ideas connects young Australians with guest panelists and experts from a wide range of fields.
The twelve panels run for six days during National Youth Week (16 – 24 April, 2007), 24 hours a day.
This year’s panels include:
- From Pen to Pulpit: Writing for Performance
- Show Me the Money: How to Get Funding for Your Art
- A Room of One’s Own: The Use and Value of Creative Space
- Don’t Throw Stones in Greenhouses: Constructive Responses to Climate Change
- Shortcircuiting the Gate: The Rise of Independent Media
- Your Rights at Work: Industrial Relations in Howard’s Australia
- Fan Club or Critic’s Circle: Finding Your Voice in Music Journalism
- The Changed Faces of Multiculturalism
- Outside the Bounds of the City: Young People in Rural and Regional Australia
and three other special sponsored panels to be announced.
