• Youthlocal S5E5 Ulladulla

  This episode of Shoalhaven Youthlocal is packed with big opinions, thoughtful debate, and strong community connections — all led by local young people.📱 Hot Topic kicks things off with a lively discussion about the idea of a social media ban. The team dives into whether banning platforms actually helps young people, the role of parents and platforms in keeping kids safe, and what meaningful consequences for online bullying should really look like. It’s an honest, sometimes chaotic, but deeply reflective conversation about growing up online.🐎 History Hits explores the complex history of Australia’s Brumbies — from their origins after colonisation, to their place in farming, wartime legend, and the ongoing debate around heritage listing, culling, and environmental impact in the High Country today.🤔 Would You Rather returns with some of the toughest dilemmas yet: honesty vs fame, spiders vs rats, coughing forever vs constant headaches, and whether you’d rather know who you’ll marry or when you’ll die. As always, no one fully agrees — and that’s half the fun.🏄 Getting Connected wraps up the episode with a chat to a young representative from the local Surf Life Saving Club, learning about pathways from nippers to cadets, the skills young people gain along the way, and how surf clubs build confidence, leadership, and community both in and out of the water.Youthlocal is a Dunn Lewis Foundation youth program designed to develop youth confidence, interpersonal skills, media literacy, and community connections. The team meets every second Wednesday afternoon from 3:30–5:00pm. This term is proudly supported by The Veolia Mulwarre Trust. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
