Canada’s first Youth Summit coming to Victoria this April

Share

This summer, students and young people in Victoria will have the opportunity to get future-proofed at this two day event.

Canada’s first Youth Summit will feature 500 young people between the ages of 13 and 19, gathering at Royal Bay Secondary in Colwood to hear from educators, lawyers, business owners, policy makers, and many more successful professionals.

The event will be guided by Syilx master of ceremonies Warren Hooley (Okanagan nation) and facilitated by Jeff Hopkins, principal of the revolutionary Pacific School of Innovation and Inquiry.

It’s the perfect opportunity for youth in Victoria to get a head start on finding their passions and achieving their goals, by meeting and collaborating with other Summit attendees.

Extra attention 

The Summit will also address real world problems that schools often don’t have room for in their curriculum – like leadership, decision making, and communication.

But that’s not all. Each pass also includes 12 post-Summit group sessions that will help the kids stay in touch with what they’ve learned.

It won’t all be learning though. Food and entertainment – including improv theatre, interactive digital lighting, DJ live music, magic shows and more – will also be provided. Because everyone needs a break!
