Street University Canberra

The Street Universities can be considered the engagement phase of the Noffs continuum of care. They provide workshops and activities that incorporate creative use of art, music, dance, theatre, multi-media, writing, life skills development and technology and design in a highly visible, youth-friendly venue. They also deliver vocational and educational workshops and bridging programs to further education. The Street University movement has as its primary aim the re-connection with the community and cultivation of social inclusion of young people. Its strength lies in its capacity to engage and motivate disadvantaged young people and its ability to provide them with the material and social support needed to actualise ideas and ambitions.
