This summer, VIDEA is hosting a forum for youth by youth. Despite many recent milestones in equity and equality, deeply rooted gender injustices still pervade daily life globally. Gender inequality is a reality in Canada, and has severe repercussions on human rights internationally.
On August 13thand 14th VIDEA hopes to unite youth in the Greater Victoria area to discuss gender and international development as it relates to them personally, locally and globally. At Langham Court on the 13th we will engage in a provoking introduction to gender theory by professor Cole Little and establish relationships between youth delegates to nurture healthy, organic discussion, and listen to some great local music. On the 14th, we will spend the day at UVIC engaged in activities, workshops, panel discussions and keynote speakers.
Featured speakers and workshops to be announced. |
