• Upload your submission – Answer the question “what does Reconciliation mean to you?”
  • • We’re looking for inspiration using whatever medium you choose (a written piece (pdf), an artwork (jpeg or png), a video (YouTube, Vimeo or SendVid URL), or video of a performance) that will spark ideas or strategies that could foster greater dialogue and understanding among non-Indigenous and Indigenous young people.
    • You can see examples of submissions from previous forums here: https://forums.experiencescanada.ca/examples/
    • Your submission MUST be uploaded by April 5th to be considered for selection.

A team of volunteer judges will assist Experiences Canada in reviewing all submissions over the first two weeks of April  The final selection will be determined based on three factors:

1. – The quality of your submission.
2. – Your personal bio and interest in issues of Reconciliation.
3. – Ensuring a representative balance of Canada’s geographic, cultural, and linguistic diversity.

A registration fee of $300 will be payable by all youth selected. (For anyone for whom this may be a barrier, you may apply for a bursary from Experiences Canada’s special measures fund.)

Our goal will be to notify all participants of our decisions by February 28, 2021.

We thank all that apply for their interest in our program, and wish you good luck with your application!
