You are invited to participate in the 9th Annual Community Relations Symposium 2009

This unique community event will run over two days, Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 September 2009, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Parramatta.

Tuesday 22 September will be dedicated entirely to the voices of young people. Youth delegates (aged 25 years and under) will have the opportunity at Youth Leaders Day to develop a greater understanding of social and multicultural issues in conversation with their peers from across the NSW education system and community youth sector.  

Wednesday 23 September is the general Community Relations Symposium day and represents a great opportunity to network with other professionals and community members, to learn about current and innovative community projects, and to discuss ideas and concerns about the state of community relations in NSW.
