Youth programs
Visible Ink
The Visible Ink program is Council's Youth Strategy. It's about helping young people to take part in their city and have a say in Council's activities, programs and policies.
Visible Ink is about Council working together with young people. The strategy includes:
-
Visible Ink website
- information for youth, online surveys and discussion groups, news and events and links to other useful sites
- Albert Park Flexi School - an alternate education program for young people to complete their secondary studies outside mainstream schooling
- spaces for young people to hold meetings, plan and organise projects and events and access youth networks
- Visible Ink newsletter - subscribe to the newsletter on the Visible Ink website
Visible Ink spaces
Visible Ink spaces are part of a city wide network of youth spaces supported by Brisbane City Council for people under 26 and organisations that work with young people.
