Engineers Without Borders created a newspaper dated in the 2030s highlighting the world’s achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Staff and volunteers distributed the newspaper across the University of Calgary campus and downtown Calgary, engaging the community in conversations about their knowledge of the SDGs and their opinions on a future where these goals are achieved. The event had a positive impact, sparking meaningful discussions and strong community engagement. The filming was fulfilling for both the organization and participants

In honour of IDW and Black History Month, BCCIC, folks from African diaspora communities and those working in international cooperation gathered for an evening of poetry, media analysis, and dialogue. Through multiple lenses, we explored systemic racism, policy, and development narratives and how we can advance anti-racist, anti-colonial futures. We had a theatrical skit by Benedicta Akley-Quarshie and a presentation by Ayo Munis — a multi-talented creative artist with over 15 years of experience in the media, acting, radio and television industry. This event gathered roughly 30 attendees.

NCGC’s Unleash Innovation Lab was a participatory learning and action space created by the Northern Council for Global Cooperation to support youth-led, community-driven solutions to global and local challenges, particularly in northern and rural contexts. The Lab brought together over 60 young people, community members, and partner organizations from across Canada and the circumpolar north to build skills in systems thinking, design thinking, and social innovation, while exploring issues such as climate justice, reconciliation, gender equality, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The Global Youth Experience became a meeting place for youth (ages 18–25) and globally minded citizens from 10 countries around the world. Following 5 virtual sessions, Lakehead University and OCIC hosted an in-person Summit in Orillia in February, where 20 local and 20 international youth came together. Through diverse cultural lenses, these young changemakers discussed some of the most pressing challenges of our time: the climate crisis, youth unemployment, artificial intelligence, global conflict, and more. Along the way, friendships formed that outlasted the Summit, leading to podcasts, collaborations, and creative projects.

SCIC hosted a public screening of The Great Green Wall, a documentary that explores African-led efforts to combat desertification and climate change, and the human impact. Followed by a youth-led panel discussion, panelists shared Indigenous, African, and Canadian perspectives, emphasizing the disproportionate impacts of climate change on the Global South and encouraging local action for global environmental sustainability and solidarity.
