It's almost here! Vibewire.net has taken the
stale old conference model and rebooted it, bringing it online and democratising
it. With only two weeks to go, the e-Festival of Ideas gives
everyone - whether you're an expert or not - the chance to get the lowdown on
some of today's most compelling issues and to contribute your perspective and
opinions. Using online communications technologies, the e-Festival has created
innovative ways that Australian youth can get informed, get active, and get
heard. Held in conjunction with National Youth Week 2007,
the
e-Festival of Ideas connects young Australians with guest panelists and
experts from a wide range of fields. Log on and join active
citizens from across Australia to discuss the creative, social, political and
lifestyle issues that matter to you. Our twelve panels run for six days during
National Youth Week April 16-21, 24 hours a day.
This year's panels
include:
- From Pen to Pulpit: Writing for
Performance
- Show Me the Money: How to Get Funding for Your
Art
