Join the UBC Aboriginal Youth Learning Circle and the First Nations Youth Councils of British Columbia Association on Wednesday, March 13th from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. for an interactive session to explore the topic of Meaningful Youth Engagement (MYE). Learn about the benefits of MYE and the different levels at which YOUth can engage. Then in our “Walk the Talk” activity, we’ll share ways that Adult Allies and Elders can best support you as an active youth! We believe that learning should always occur in both directions. Come join the Learning Circle as we share Meaningful Youth Engagement with you, and you share your wisdom with us.
Date: March 13, 2013
Time: 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Place: Attend by video conference OR online via Adobe Connect (for computers)
