Young People, Diversity and Creative Practice. This theme explores how young people develop community resilience through creative practice. This theme acknowledges the diversity of skills and knowledges represented in the youth arts sector. Through arts and creative industries young people are developing diverse skillsets, such as: critical thinking, collaboration, curiosity, and social and cultural awareness. These 21st century skills can help to build community resilience into a rapidly changing workforce, providing young people with a foundation to flourish. Our project will work with key partner organisations across the youth arts sector to demonstrate how their programs impart these vital 21st century skills. https://vital-arts.org/contribute daily 0.75 2021-08-30 https://vital-arts.org/themes/digital-badges daily 0.75 2025-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/1632448754169-ZJY29G9GLH07IBBN5KNK/thepush Digital Badges: Capturing and Creating Value - Digital Badges: Capturing and Creating Value. This theme explores the uses of digital badges to demonstrate and accredit skills learnt through youth arts. Micro-creds are a fairly recent, digitally enabled approach to the accreditation of skills and training outcomes. They certify that learners have developed specific skills and knowledge through short courses of study or training. Once completed, learners are awarded a digital badge, which certifies the skills learnt. Digital badges can then be shared across a variety of platforms to notify potential employers of their skills and experience. Through our project we will work with industry partners to explore the potential uses of micro-creds to recognise the 21st century skills learnt through their youth arts programs. Every six months, our Action Research Industry Group (ARIG) will meet to discuss and refine the production of the micro-creds. The micro-creds design will reflect industry and youth needs. Through surveying the needs of our diverse participants and assessing models for micro-cred stack-ability and pathways to work, the task of the ARIG will be to guide the development of three micro-creds in ways that best meet the needs of industry and young people involved in arts. https://vital-arts.org/themes/21st-century-skills daily 0.75 2025-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/1632448947316-WQQTH6ERCCFZKH1XQS3I/Australian+Theatre+for+Young+People 21st Century Skills for the Future of Work - 21st Century Skills for the Future of Work. This theme explores the future of work and the skills young people will need to flourish in uncertain environments. A generation of young people are about to enter a workforce that has been greatly altered by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are seeing rising youth unemployment and underemployment, and industries undergoing rapid change to adapt to a post-pandemic environment. Young people attempting to enter the workforce are therefore doing so under increased uncertainty and insecurity. There is much we do not know about the future of work, however, what is clear is that young people are going to need skills that are adaptable and transferable across industries and circumstances. These 21st century skills are going to be vital predictors of a young person’s ability to flourish into the future. Across our project we will focus on four key competencies, and five character qualities that exemplify 21st century skills. Competencies: Critical thinking Communication Creativity Collaboration Character Qualities: Curiosity Initiative Persistence Leadership Social and cultural awareness These competencies and qualities signal a workforce that values diversity, adaptability and creativity. Supporting the development of these capacities will have value not just for young people themselves, but equally for the resilience of industries and economies into the future. https://vital-arts.org/partners daily 0.75 2022-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/940f9ed1-d5de-4fe1-aa98-57d3228021b9/13.png Partners Australian Theatre for Young People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/48a2c09f-b719-4aef-a53e-c2f63d3345d6/17.png Partners Back to Back Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/cf7dcb95-6288-4fe0-89d2-a337fbc44e76/16.png Partners Centre for Multicultural Youth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/b3664f3f-74b6-41a6-818d-819e4f395d85/1500x500.jpeg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/1661919871672-XJL3TYB97K6KAREKT1ZM/Corrugated%2BIron%2B.jpg Partners Corrugated Iron Youth Arts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/756abf97-c150-4869-be3e-b9be3c237c51/Black_CMYK_Horizontal.png Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/368ed18f-1d12-4fdb-a391-eb7b7e737825/Deakin-logo.png Partners Deakin University https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/4d4a100d-3a92-45d6-b499-93ebf84d5d21/15.png Partners Future Foundations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/2f07e454-19d2-4271-9124-f55f50bd0a54/Maynooth-University-Logo-colour-RGB-300dpi.png Partners Maynooth University https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/5c60be02-9e79-471c-8ceb-f1cf1d9f9391/nus_logo_full-vertical.jpeg Partners National University of Singapore https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/b0e0eea4-649f-485d-9f48-af9edd47209f/The-Push-01-Byline+png.png Partners The Push https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/0d7dabcf-2528-4405-be7f-52dfd3b76f33/19.png Partners Work Advance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/6f260b64-6559-42e0-8850-a1049bff51dc/11.png Partners RMIT University https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/63a3ca7d-8ccf-49de-8a52-98b06ad1f5f1/20.png Partners Australian Research Council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/f8858893-d3bd-4500-a93f-57fa6258b86f/DERC+newfont+2023+color.png Partners Digital Ethnography Research Centre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/985f763d-387a-4a6e-9a0a-1533dd838da8/the+space+logo.png Partners https://vital-arts.org/dr-tammy-hulbert daily 0.75 2021-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61244d5fda94b4619cc0d8a4/1630371192837-YZRKKLBS4G0RSGSM6K2J/TWH+Portrait+2021+%281%29.jpeg Dr Tammy Hulbert - Dr Tammy Wong Hulbert RMIT University Dr Tammy Wong Hulbert is a Chinese-Australian artist, curator and Lecturer of Arts Management.

She leads this project with enthusiasm, commitment and care. Anna studied performing arts at The University of Adelaide, at a time when they had specialist performance degrees (ah, the 1990’s!). She then went on to work with Restless Dance Theatre from 1996-2003 and received funding from the Department of Premier and Cabinet to train as a director with the company. After co-directing two major Restless productions, in 2005 Anna moved to Melbourne where she worked in the performing arts and media program at NCAT Education (previously Northland Secondary College). Anna also ran regular dance programs for NADRASCA disability support and the Sudanese Australian Integrated Learning Program, amongst other organisations. She continues her creative practice across a range of media today. Recently, she has exhibited in Adelaide as part of Illuminate Adelaide and shown work at The Whitworth in Manchester, P21 Gallery, London, Goldsmiths University and Project Space in Melbourne. Anna is always keen to chat about the arts and learning and creative industries.
