Turning Point
Youth Advocacy for our Forests, Oceans, and Planet
Global Activators is planning the Turning Point youth summit that will bring together many outstanding teenagers aged 14-18 for an uplifting one-day gathering in Vancouver on Saturday, May 17th, 2025. It is focused on uniting and inspiring youth to take a lead role in protecting our living planet. The conference themes include forests, oceans, global overheating, advocacy, and sustainable lifestyles. At Turning Point, you as a participant will learn directly from young environmentalists, Indigenous leaders, scientists, senior government officials, representatives from environmental organizations, and sustainable living experts.

The agenda will include:
A Forests Panel, an Oceans Panel, and an Action Panel (Advocacy skills, sustainable living, etc.)
