Activate Whitehorse

An activation is an activity or program that creates an opportunity for people to connect with one another in a public space.

An activation program may be influenced by arts, culture, learning and wellbeing and promotes inclusiveness, being available to people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

Calling all dancers and dance schools! Expressions of interest are now open for our Summer Shake Up program these school holidays.
