Youth Forums & Online Conversations
We believe in the potential of youth – which is why we are committed to programs that encourage them to investigate and speak out on today’s relevant topics. Experiences Canada Youth Leadership Forums and Online Conversations offer youth from across Canada the opportunity to lead and be part of an intensive ‘youth teaching youth’ experience.
These in-person and online programs aim to empower youth to be more involved in current affairs as well as support secondary school educators who are looking for innovative ways to support their online learning plans.
