February 27 - 28, 2018: Sharing the Stories Knowledge Exchange
Sharing the Stories (www.sharingthestories.ca) is a platform of youth engagement and youth program evaluation tools. It supports youth organizations to track outcomes and tell the story of their programs and initiatives. The Sharing the Stories (StS) initiative involves diverse youth organizations and agencies from across Canada and around the world. The platform also offers one-on-one coaching for youth organizations to build their capacity for meaningful youth engagement and youth program evaluation. There are currently 182 StS subscribers. StS subscribers and members of the youth sector are invited to make meaning of the data collected from the Sharing the Stories research and evaluation initiative.
February 28 - March 5, 2018: The #CanadaWeWant Conference
The Students Commission of Canada (SCC) was founded at a national youth conference in 1991. The 1991 youth conference produced 260 recommendations for policy makers with the final recommendation focused on 'commissioning' an organization to support the implementation of the recommendations. Since then, the SCC has hosted at least one pan-Canadian conference every year. We are inviting 135 youth aged 12-25 and 25 adult allies from every province and territory to participate in the 2018 #CanadaWeWant Conference. Our conference will focus on providing young people with an opportunity to have a say in the decisions that affect them and to determine the #CanadaWeWant for the next 150 years. We will use the Young Decision Makers model to work through theme areas identified by young people. We will also build opportunities for young people to continue this work in their home communities.
