First Australiawide Muslim Youth Empowerment Conference held in Auburn Sydney

Shia National Network of Australia Inc. has introduced new dimensions to the traditional youth conferences. In the traditional Conferences usually there are a few high profiled speakers who discuss the youth issues. The Multicultural and Multilingual Umbrella Community organisation introduced the concept of Youth Empowerment Conference in which no professional speaker are invited to address.

The Network had arranged such a conference on the 17th of July, 2022 in Ahlulbait Islamic Centre, Auburn  Sydney to ask the Muslim youth to hand their confronted issues and challenges to the Muslim community which will find the ways and means to find their solutions.
Thus 88 students from all local universities including Wollongong and Charles Sturt University and a few weekend Islamic schools were registered for the Youth empowerment conference.
