Generation Next Forum : Townsville evaluation report

Abstract

The Generation Next Forum resulted in approximately fifty young people from all sectors of the Australian Sugar Industry identifying practical commitments they could contribute to the future of the industry. The Generation Next Forum was conducted in Townsville between the 15th and 17th of February 2006. Approximately thirty senior industry leaders were also involved in the Forum, both gaining an understanding of the delegates’ perspectives and resourcing them with information and knowledge. The industry leaders also made commitments to continue to invest in the development of delegates through practical initiatives. The Forum provided opportunities for delegates to gain exposure to ideas, perspectives, skills and opportunities from a wide range of industry stakeholders and several from outside of the sugar industry.
