Welcome to
Welcome to Stage 1 of the Rural Youth Network! We know many people are trying to study and work online at present and we have developed this site to be helpful to you! Given the challenges in the world and in the spirit of community building and collaboration we are sharing this resource with everyone.
We provide resources in good faith and we expect everyone to interact respectfully and generously. Please be conscious of your privacy and wellbeing when you post.
Here you can find:
- Resource Hub which contains resources to help with online learning and study generally. There is a discussion place where you can ask comments and questions and others can reply.
- Virtual Learning Community which contains information about the actual learning systems that you might be using at university, TAFE or with other learning. You can find links to resources and a place to ask questions.
- Leadership Learning Zone where we will have discussions about leadership and learning and over time this will develop into a place to build leadership skills for now and the future.
- Motivation and Wellbeing Central which contains links to a whole range of resources to help you keep motivated and well. We will also be running an Open Zoom session for anyone who would like to connect with other people. This will take place on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10am EST. You will find a place to state your goals and a place to reflect on your activity over a day or a week.
