 Raise
Your Voice: Global Leadership Weekend
October 18 – 19, 2008
(Ages 14 – 19)
From
October 18-19, 2008, over 20 young people and 10 youth facilitators
came together in the northern community of Peace River,
AB, to talk about leadership and social justice in their
communities and around the world.
“Discovering
leadership. Friendship. Passion for peace and social justice.
Change. Tackling global issues. Sparking local movements.
Breaking down barriers. Turning apathy on its head. Turning
fear into creative energy. Moving bodies and forces. Challenging
old ways. Ideas planted as seeds. Inspiring ready minds.
Raising social responsibility. Raising young voices. Speak
up, step up…take action!”
“I learned how when a bunch of like-minded people
come together they can learn from one another, and create
a sense of outstanding unity! Everyone worked together in
collaboration to come up with new ways to engage others.”
– Quetzala Carson, 16
