Each day of KickstART Virtual has a specific theme, as decided upon by the Youth Week WA Planning Committee and our Creative Coordinator Kobi Arthur Morrison.

The theme for Saturday 23 May is Dandjoo - Together, and Emily Burton will be the day’s theme-setter.

How are we together given the circumstances? Why do we need to be together and how do we serve that need? Join Emily for her response and introduction to this particular theme.

About KickstART Virtual
22 - 29 May 2020

For 10 years KickstART has been the flagship event for Youth Week WA, however things are a little different in 2020.

As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent live event cancellations, Propel Youth Arts WA is presenting KickstART Virtual: a week-long online festival of free workshops, talks, and hangouts, specifically tailored to young creative people in WA, and developed by Creative Coordinator Kobi Arthur Morrison with the Youth Week WA Planning Committee.

KickstART takes place on Noongar Boodjar. We acknowledge the ownership and are grateful for the custodianship of the people who originate from the Whadjuk nation. We acknowledge the traditional owners of country throughout Australia. We pay our respect to Elders past and present. We are committed to reconciliation and supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people.

KickstART Virtual is presented by Propel Youth Arts WA and is funded by the Government of Western Australia through the Department of Communities and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. KickstART is also sponsored by Lotterywest and the City of Perth.
