International Youth Forum 2021 Recap

On August 27, 2021, BC Children and Youth Connection Society held our first ever International Youth Forum after four months of planning. The topic was Post-Pandemic Era as the COVID-19 pandemic has changed everyone's lives. Thus, we wanted to hear teens present their perspectives regarding how the global lockdown affected their community. Nine teams and 32 participants from 4 countries were brought out to the event and shared their opinions through presentations, interviews, artwork, newsletters, skits, talk shows, and documentaries. 

On the night of the event, with excitement and passion, the participants' showcased their diverse ideas. One after another, all teams eagerly presented their projects while voicing their own perspectives successfully and effectively; this amazed the audience. Through a rigorous vote from all the attendees, team A Squared and their photo documentary was awarded first place of the 2021 International Youth Forum. We would like to thank participants, staff executives, and the audience for the success they brought us.
