BC Youth Summit

Global Activators is planning a youth summit that will bring together many outstanding teenagers aged 14-18 from across BC. The youth summit will be held for two and a half days in Vancouver over the May long weekend next year (May 17-19, 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, and sustainable lifestyles. It will be the first major environmental summit for teenagers in BC in a generation.

At the youth summit, you as a participant will learn directly from young environmentalists, Indigenous leaders, scientists, senior government officials, representatives from environmental organizations, and sustainable living experts. There will also be film screenings, dances, performances by amazing music artists, and a colourful street parade. Workshops will provide you with training in advocacy campaigning and communication skills. The youth summit will be fun, insightful, and highly inspirational experience. You’ll make friends from across BC and be part of this new and powerful alliance for positive change.

Magnifying our positive impact

In the months following your participation in a youth summit, you’ll reach out to people in your spheres of influence (neighbours, friends, family, workmates, teachers, etc.) to share what you learned at the youth summit. Through these in-person conversations, you’ll teach and inspire them about what we can do to protect the Earth’s amazing forests and oceans, reverse the activities that are causing dangerous global warming, and implement lifestyle choices that reduce our impact on the planet. Furthermore, you’ll invite them to take advocacy actions (e.g. signing petitions, writing letters, etc.), calling on governments to act urgently to protect our living planet. These grassroots outreach efforts will deepen and amplify the impact of the youth summit. More information coming soon. Get involved
