I’ll be attending this Youth Forum and so should you! While I don’t often think of myself as a ‘youth*’, and am a bit nervous about feeling old, decrepit & cynical in a room full of young & idealist students, I’m pretty excited for the line-up of workshops and keynote presentations. Meet other young people, connect with some environmental organizations, hear about good work being done, AND gain weekend admission to the ROM; all for the low cost of attending ($20-25**).
I’m hoping to gain some insights into the youth psyche. My work would like to do a better job of engaging young people, and while I have some ideas, it’d be neat to have some youth focused organizations backing my ideas up.
Hope I see you there! <3 J
*I’m just squeezing into the age bracket of youth participant, but am now thinking I should have registered as an environmental practitioner. Though really, the line between those distinctions should be rather fluid; we’re trying to create young environmental leaders after all!
**They’re looking for volunteers for the event, who would get free admission. Che-che-che-check it out!
