Overview

If you're interested in food, the future, and creating positive change, this one-day festival is for you. Festival21 explores how food and the way we eat can be the key to a healthy and sustainable future for both ourselves and the planet.

The youth-focussed day program, F21y, will run from 12-5pm at The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The program is for 16 to 30-year-olds who are looking to make change, and will host a range of talks from entrepreneurs such as Who Gives A Crap and Shebeen owner, Simon Griffiths, leaders and team builders like AFL legend Kevin Sheedy, and a keynote presentation by Triple J’s loveable morning host, Alex Dyson.

From 7-10pm the program becomes an evening celebration packed with music, comedy, short films and panel discussions. We’re pretty excited to watch the banter between barrister and human rights advocate, Julian Burnside and the ever-impressive Stephanie Alexander as they whip up a storm live onstage. For the artistically inclined, don’t forget to check out the live exhibition space as part of F21. The event is free but you will need to register. Head to their website to do so.
