Science and The Next Generation: Authentic Engagement with Youth in Science and Science Policy
Sciences et prochaine génération : un engagement authentique avec les jeunes dans les sciences et les politiques scientifiques

Panel Organized by: CIHR-IHDCYH

This all-youth panel will showcase different ways that diverse youth voices are influencing science and science policy, with an interactive youth-led conversation rooted in the promise of Canada’s Youth Policy. Youth participants with experience in sectors including aerospace, computer science, education, justice, and health research bring their perspectives on engaging in policy development and related discussions, including touching on some of the benefits and their critiques of specific youth engagement frameworks.

Ce groupe de discussion entièrement composé de jeunes illustrera différents moyens par lesquels la voix des jeunes influence la science et les politiques scientifiques, dans le cadre d’une conversation interactive dirigée par les jeunes et ancrée dans la promesse d’une politique jeunesse pour le Canada. Les jeunes participants pourvus d’expérience dans des secteurs comme l’aérospatiale, l’informatique, l’éducation, le droit et la recherche en santé mettront à contribution leurs perspectives sur la participation à l’élaboration des politiques et des sujets connexes, y compris leur vision des forces et des faiblesses de certains cadres de mobilisation des jeunes.
