the archibull prize
Engages secondary school students in agriculture and sustainability awareness, understanding behaviour change and action through art, design, creativity, teamwork and project development. Aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the program inspires teachers, students, and their communities to become changemakers. Students are connected to young people working in agriculture and over two school terms students design, deliver and report on a Community Action Project. The students create an SDG inspired artwork on a life size fibreglass cow, a community behaviour change project and a digital communication piece articulating the students’ learning journey. An awards ceremony brings hundreds of students together to celebrate the schools’ achievements. The program’s success is due to the collaboration of students, teachers, parents, business and community sustainability and agricultural industry experts. The program’s legacy lives on beyond the project’s lifespan, encouraging long term behaviour change.

Design a Bright Future Challenge
A primary school program using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and a cache of community experts to assist students on a journey of sustainable living, while building collaborative partnerships with others in the community such as government, business and industry.
Young Farming Champions
Young people working in the agriculture sector are trained, mentored and given skills under the guidance of some of Australia’s top media, consulting and social licence experts. These young people then have the confidence to share their stories with schools, with community, with industry and with government.
Youth Voices Leadership Team
An alumni of Young Farming Champions learning from their elders and from each other. Together they explore issues affecting leadership in agriculture such as its volunteering nature and how to balance leadership with education and family commitments. They then use their insights to support young agricultural professionals and mentor the next generation.
