Do you know what HUMAN RIGHTS ARE? Do you know what HUMAN RIGHTS YOU  HAVE? Did you know that these HUMAN RIGHTS are NOT GUARANTEED for EVERYONE?

It’s all about Voices for Rights at this year’s Global Youth Summit! Global Youth Summit is a youth driven initiative that combines great entertainment, interactive workshops, and an engaging keynote speaker – all to get youth inspired to get involved, take up action and to raise their voices for human rights. This event is set to kick off on April 16 at the Jubilee Auditorium!

Organized by S.C.R.E.A.M, which stands for Social and Community Responsibility through Education, the Arts, and Music, we are a planning committee dedicated to building relationships, communication and engagement among the youth in our community. S.C.R.E.A.M encourages youth to start thinking and how to be a part of social activism and community development, locally and globally. Our goal to make a difference in our community for tomorrow, through youth mobilization today. We are in partnership with the YMCA and Canadian Red Cross, and if you are a high school student that wants to get involved with Global Youth Summit, to make a positive change in your community, you still can!

Previous GYS

I encourage all high school students to attend! This event will definitely leave you with a toolkit and ideas on how raise your voice to get involved in the process of making a difference, the opportunity to meet new friends, eat good food with great entertainment, and to impart confidence to impower youth to make their voices heard – because a honest voice is much louder than a crowd’s.

I know, because Global Youth Summit did this for me last year, and that youth are capable of speaking for others that would otherwise have no voices!

It’s going to be at the Jubliee Auditorium on Saturday, April 16.

Bui. Lisa Bui. I’m a self asserted History and English nerd but anything extreme, from mountain biking to skydiving, and you can count me in. I enjoy classical music to the point that I swear the sound of C-Train doors closing beep to Beethoven’s Fur Elise. My favourite novel is Sherlock Holmes. What’s the funniest thing about me? I burst into laughter when anyone ever says the word “strange”.
