National Youth Week is the largest  celebration of young people in Australia.  It aims to encourage young people to share ideas, showcase their talents and celebrate their contribution to the community.  Auburn City Council is proud to be involved in Youth Week each year and hosts a local event in conjunction with important partners such as Auburn Youth Centre, Beyond Empathy, Auburn Community Development Network and Auburn Diversity Services Inc. 

Refugee Week 

 
Refugee Week 2011, with the theme of the week being 'Freedom from Fear'.
 
The Refugee Council of Australia (RCOA) works with agencies around Australia to coordinate Refugee Week, a national celebration of newly arrived refugees into the country and an effort to assist with their settlement process.
 
Auburn is an area that many refugees have made their home. Auburn receives the largest influx of refugees in NSW, which makes the celebrations for Refugee Week a very important event in this area.
