Get Around It

Get Around It showcases 14 to 22 year old thinkers, makers and doers. It has become a ‘talent bank’ showcasing young South Australians who are making an impact in unique ways.

The project came out of conversations the Commissioner had with young people across the state who said they wanted more opportunities to share what they were doing with their peers, not only as a way of building their own confidence but also to inspire others.

Get Around It also challenges the perception that young people are ‘at risk’ and need protection, or that they adopt ‘risky’ behaviours and are therefore in constant need of supervision or restraint. It aims to show the breadth and depth of youthful creativity, entrepreneurial spirit and innovative thinking which young people naturally bring to every place they go. It celebrates the wonderful contribution they make to our communities every single day!

Follow @getaroundit_sa on Instagram and see what young South Australians are making, thinking and doing in your backyard. Or why not nominate yourself or a young person you know who you think would make a great addition to the Get Around It showcase?
