As part of the YouthFest 2022 celebrations, Monash Youth Services hosted the Monash Youth Big Debate podcast. Two teams made up of young people from City of Monash debated whether homework should be banned for high school students. In preparation for the debate, both teams were mentored by members of the Monash Association of Debaters, Monash University’s debate team and the largest and most successful debating society in the Southern hemisphere. Both teams debated passionately and eloquently, discussing many intriguing ideas about education and it’s delivery methods. 

Monash Youth Services would like to thank the Victorian State Government for supporting this podcast through YouthFest 2022.

Monash Youth Ambassadors (YABS) discovered that dealing with stress was one of the top concerns for Monash young people from the 2021 Monash Youth Survey. Reflected on their own experience, YABS decided to create episodes of podcasts to talk about stress.
YABS invited Dr Glenn Melvin, an Associate Professor and clinical and counselling psychologist from Deakin University, to debunk the common myths about stress and provide useful tips to deal with stressful moments.
