Season 2: National Youth Forum 2024 - Reconciliation

From July 3-7, 60 Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth (50 participants / 10 leaders) gathered in Ottawa from each province and territory to engage in meaningful discussions and activities towards Reconciliation. This Forum provided a safe and inclusive platform for young Canadians to share their perspectives and ideas on this very important subject. Youth engaged in enriching in-person learning activities throughout the region, including visits to Mādahòki Farm, Zibi, and the Adaawe Indigenous Business Hub alongside workshops, discussions, and cultural experiences. 10 podcasts were also produced by youth in their own voices to share their first-hand experiences and lessons learned on their Reconciliation journey. Thank you to all the incredible youth participants and leaders for their invaluable contributions to this Forum!

Season 1: Allyship Podcast Series 2022

This Allyship Podcast Series is a result of Experiences Canada’s Do the Work! Youth Forum on Allyship.

The forum explored social justice topics as well as developed youth participants’ allyship and advocacy skills. The program began with the delivery of seven bi-weekly webinars and workshops to the 50 youth participants between the ages of 14-18. The topics covered included Reconciliation, Mental Heath, LGBTQ2+, Environmental Racism, Disability Justice, Islamophobia, and Social Media Impacts.

Youth who completed the full webinar series were invited to travel to Winnipeg for free to attend a 3-day in-person National Forum on Allyship, which took place May 6-8, 2022. In Winnipeg, they worked collaboratively to produce their own podcast on youth allyship and/or advocacy.
