What's Up West? Is a biennale event organised by young people for young people. A platform created by Youth Action NSW, over two action-packed days hundreds of young people from Greater Western Sydney will come together in Parramatta to be inspired and learn skills to change their life, their community and the world.
2019’s theme was 'OUR TIME IS NOW!' and looked at ways to empower young people, exploring the connections, diversity and liveability of Western Sydney, while participating in interactive sessions and learning life skills in practical groups.
