On the 21st of February 2007 YANQ facilitated a workshop with members of the South West Youth Network (SWYN) exploring ways that youth workers can (and might) participate in youth policy development and advocacy. 

The aims of the workshop were to:

• Share strategies that youth workers and their networks can use to engage with and influence the development of Government policy (at State or Federal levels) that impacts on young people and their services.
• Provide an opportunity for YANQ to share information about the opportunities it provides to networks to participate in policy development; and
• Provide SWYN an opportunity to inform YANQ on ways its members think they can best engage with policy development and advocacy and how YANQ might be able to support this.
