Vision:
On March 25th, we invite the young adults of Vancouver to join SFU’s Semester in Dialogue students as we explore the challenges and options of our generation’s energy future. We will aim to empower individuals and challenge them to deepen their understanding of the conversations surrounding climate change. The evening will evoke meaningful dialogue and art-based practice to capture the significance of youth voices through experiential mutual learning.

Our goal is to capture the youth voice of Vancouver through art and film to present to Renewable Cities at the Global Learning Forum. We will be able to show world leaders how the youth envision their future and what their options are surrounding climate change. This will take the form of interactive art and the opportunity for participants to voice their opinions on camera. Please join us for an opportunity to engage the world!

The evening will involve the opportunity to engage in dialogue with influential community members and to explore social justice, climate change and options we have for the future in a changing world. After a brief refreshment break, the opportunity to take part in art based learning through various mediums as well as theatre will take place.

We look forward to seeing you there!
