The Youth Makers Market aimed to support young creative entrepreneurs through the facilitation of workshops, webinars, and one-on-one support in the lead up to the market, and hands-on support from the Youth Services team on the day. Craigieburn Festival was the first opportunity for many to put these new skills into practice through interacting with a diverse customer base and selling their products.
