Youth Resource Week, a highly anticipated 6-day event set to take place from January 6th to 11th, 2025, was established in direct response to the negative impact of Black Wednesday on Papua New Guinea's image and young people. The event is a proactive attempt meant to contradict the dominant societal narrative, which frequently reduces young people's options to pursuing regular schooling and seeking conventional work prospects. The primary objective of Youth Resource Week is to empower young people by offering them practical answers that overcome traditional limits and provide several paths to achievement. The initiative envisions these avenues as working with Small and Medium Enterprises, utilizing the Labour Mobility Unit, and embracing the opportunities provided by FODE. Youth Resource Week strives to foster a sense of purpose and engagement among young individuals, encouraging them to actively contribute to the creation of a harmonious and thriving society. Participants in the event have the opportunity to engage in various roles, such as regular attendees, mentors, sponsors, hosts, or speakers, all contributing to the overall success and impact of the program. With an estimated audience of around 20,000 individuals, Youth Resource Week has garnered significant interest and participation from a diverse range of stakeholders. Registrations for the event were conducted both in-person at Port Moresby, Vision City, as well as online through a dedicated registration portal, reflecting the widespread engagement and enthusiasm surrounding this unique initiative aimed at uplifting the youth of Papua New Guinea.
