Social media training is available for affiliate networks, organisations and YAC's. YACSA social media training focuses on the very basics of what social media is; to more advanced training on how to use social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. We can tailor a training package for you.

Pizza and Politics is an event hosted by YACSA, at which young people meet and influence South Australian decision-makers. Young people determine the theme and format of each event, which means they actively engage with the policy areas that affect them and the people responsible for those policies. YACSA is preparing Pizza and Politics events for the remainder of 2012 and would like to invite YAC’s to get involved! If your YAC is interested in co-hosting a Pizza and Politics event with YACSA, please contact Juliette on 8211 7546 or yacsa@yacsa.com.au.

YACSA is putting together a focus group of young people aged 12 – 18 to help the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre (YAWCRC) develop an online campaign about bullying and safety.
 
The focus group will run from 4:00pm – 5:30pm on Friday 18 May 2012, at the YACSA office on Level 4, 182 Victoria Square. If you’re interested in contributing, send your details to yacsa@yacsa.com.au by 5pm on Thursday 17th May and we’ll send you some more information.
