It is well known that young people should be actively engaged in the initiatives and decisions that impact them, as well as civic society has a whole – but how to engage young people is not something that comes easily to all adults.

In this free webinar on Tuesday, June 7 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. EST, we explored the importance and benefits of engaging young people – along with presenting recommendations on how to best engage. We discussed findings from studies at Brock, Bishop’s University and also from the broader scientific literature.

We would like to acknowledge the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Office of Research Services, which helped to make this event possible.
