2012 World University Service of Canada International Forum
Join World University Service of Canada for our 2012 International Forum where we will explore the theme “Youth Leading Change – Aspirations to Action”.
This year’s theme is: Youth Leading Change – Aspiration to Action. The forum will bring together WUSC’s institutional and student members, alumni and partners as well as members of the international development and policy community. This year’s forum will prioritize the voices of youth in the discussion of global issues.
The forum program will be a familiar format as those in years past and will explore the following sub-themes: (1) Turn Up the Volume: Youth Voices for Social Change (2) Show us the Money: Economic Opportunities for Youth (3) Keeping up the Momentum: Everyday Global Citizenship.
Aboriginal participation in economic development initiatives has catalyzed progressive and positive change in communities all across Canada. These remarkable successes have changed the future of communities and enhanced the economic well-being and opportunities for Aboriginal people. Each year Cando hosts a national conference that provides a platform for leaders in Aboriginal economic development to shine, be celebrated for their achievements and share the stories of their success to a national audience. The 19th Annual National Cando Conference "Building Capacity, Building Communities” will be hosted in Membertou, Nova Scotia from October 22-25, 2012.
