The Garma Youth Forum is a highlight of the annual festival at Gulkula, bringing together young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from across the country. 

While the issues affecting Blak kids were a recurring topic amongst the community leaders and government ministers over the weekend, the people at the heart of those issues were busy coming up with their own solutions.

Amongst some lighthearted activities, the various subjects they addressed included robotics, technology, weaving, music production, arts and policy reform. 

On the festival’s final day, the young people gathered to present the fruits of their works, and problems they had identified.
