CREATIVE CITIZENSHIP: BUILDING CONNECTION, KNOWLEDGE,
BELONGING AND LEADERSHIP IN YOUNG PEOPLE
Lisa Burnett Regional Manager Transit Lounge Caboolture Qld and Anne Spelman Client Services
Coordinator Moreton Bay Region Libraries Qld
For the last three years Moreton Bay Region Libraries has hosted Transit Lounge Caboolture (TLC), a developmental
program for creative young people. Although not an obvious pairing, it has been successful, with the hosting arrangement on
the verge of transforming into a true partnership. Between them, they offer a suite of services and programs that support the
developmental needs of creative young people from pathfinders through to aspiring artists, emerging artists and professional
artists. Programs such as Mash It Up short film festival and Band Camp, services like the enewsletter and project mentoring
provide opportunities for skills development, networking, showcasing and resourcing that would not otherwise exist. Through
this unique partnership, a continuum of support has been offered that connects young people to each other, to community
resources and to professional artists and artsworkers – connection, knowledge, belonging – developing a generation of
young citizens who have a stake in their community and the skills and networks to create and lead arts and cultural activity.
Edited version of a paper presented at ‘12 to 24s @ your public library in Australia and New Zealand conference’ Qld 11-
12 June 2010.
hen we sat down to develop this paper
there was one word that dominated our
conversation – why?
• why does Transit Lounge Caboolture exist?
• why is Moreton Bay Region Libraries doing
community development work?
• why are we partnering?
• why are we interested in working with young
people?
• why arts and culture?
• why do we think other people should be doing
this?
We articulated our personal motivations, which
ultimately lead back to some clear and compelling
reasons.
Declining optimism
In the 10 years between 1995 and 2005 there was a
significant decline in young people’s optimism
regarding their preferred futures
• 49% of young people think the future quality
of life in Australia will be worse (up 25%)
• 65% think the world is headed for a bad time
of crisis and trouble (up 49%)
• although 89% would prefer a ‘green’ future
only 23% expect that is what they will see
• although only 11% prefer a ‘growth’ focused
future, 77% expect that is what will prevail.1
If you are faced with a widening gulf between your
expected and preferred futures, what does that do
to your sense of hope – especially if you do not
feel that you have any control over that situation?
Reduced feelings of wellbeing
A survey2 of more than 10,000 Australian students
from prep school to year 12 found that
• 40% of students could be described as
displaying lower levels of social and emotional
wellbeing
• there was, at most, only a weak positive
relationship.
Training Objectives:
1. Motivate our staff to advocate for the YMCA of Central Florida
2. Share with our staff the future of the YMCA of Central Florida as outlined in our Vision Plan
All 2,000 YMCA of Central Florida staff participated in the training.
2. Welcome to Mission, B.C.
Population 35,262
Coastal mountains, sprawling farmland, and the imposing Fraser River give
Mission instant visual appeal. With endless trails and beautiful lakes it’s a
nature lover’s paradise.
Mission lies just 70km/44mi east of Vancouver, an hour drive via the Lougheed
Highway (Highway 7). Situated on a hillside above the Fraser River, the area is
famed for its fishing, as mighty sturgeon and salmon abound in these waters.
3. Downtown Mission, B.C.
• Mission, BC is a vibrant city. Our historical
downtown features unique shops,
entertainment venues and establishments.
4. History of Mission
• Mission was almost named “East Vancouver” or “North Seattle”?
However, The Town of Mission City ended up being named as such
due to it’s proximity to St. Mary’s Mission, founded in 1868 to
spread Christianity to local aboriginal people and control rowdy
miners.
• In 1891 core commercial areas and streets were auctioned off as a
land promotion in the “Great Land Sale” of 1891; buyers were
brought in from Vancouver and Eastern Canada and encouraged to
settle in what was to be a new metropolis. Buildings in the area
were even designed to remind residents of small towns in southern
Ontario in the hopes of attracting buyers.
5. History of Mission
• There were several other settlements within the area,
including approximately 300 houses near Stave Falls
and other communities in Ruskin, Steelhead and
Silverdale. Each of the areas had their own unique
history and cultural background. However, the history
of this part of the Fraser Valley goes back much further
than the late 1800’s.
6. Mission’s Economic Past
• Mission soon became a thriving community;
one of the most lively retail and social
destinations in the Fraser Valley in the early to
mid 1900’s. Several of the commercial streets
•
7. Who Lives in Mission Now?
• Mission has a younger than average population, the majority of it’s
residents are between the ages of 29-44. With affordable housing
and easy accessibility to Vancouver. It is a place where many young
families are choosing to have a quieter pace of life and a sense of
community. Next are the the thoughts, insights and responses from
those who know mission best, it’s residents.
