CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE 2012 CONFERENCE

The MOVE YOUR WORLD, 6th Annual Global Issues Youth Symposium, was held on Oct 20-23, 2011, at the Camp Mockingee, in Upper Vaughan, Nova Scotia, just outside of Windsor.

The annual Move Your World Youth Symposium is a four day eye opening event for Atlantic Canadians aged 15-18. The conference brings together a diverse group of youth in a rural setting to learn about global issues and develop skills in an interactive, exciting educational experience.

Presented by the Atlantic Council for International Cooperation and the Canadian Red Cross, the 6th annual Move Your World is thrilled to announce this year's keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, was Yannick Tona on his Ripples of Change cross Canada tour. Yannick inspired participants to believe in their ability to make a difference in their community and in the world, through combatting prejudice and racism. Find out more here.

Move Your World is an inclusive event that promotes social justice. We seek to address and challenge sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia in our communities and at this event. Move Your World does not permit recreational alcohol or drug use at our Symposium.

There was NO REGISTRATION FEE to participate in this event, and travel bursaries were available to ensure that our symposium is accessable to youth from across the Atlantic Region.
