NEW DATES ANNOUNCED

In collaboration with the UNF Ottawa-Gatineau branch, the Paul Yuzyk Institute For Youth Leadership is pleased to announce Canada’s Parliament Education Forum will be held in Ottawa November 20-24, 2013.

Canada's Parliament Education Forum is inviting high school and university age students from across Canada to participate in an exciting five day exploration of the Ukrainian contribution to Canada’s Parliament and to our Canadian Policy and Legislation on Multiculturalism. This unique educational leadership forum will give young leaders the opportunity to learn how our government touches the lives of Ukrainian Canadians and how our Ukrainian community has helped build the Canadian nation and Canada’s multicultural society.

The Forum includes site visits in and around Parliament Hill, the House of Commons and Senate, the Parliamentary Library, the War Museum, the National Museum of Canadian Civilization, Parliamentary Precinct, the Supreme Court, and National Archives and Library Canada. Visits to Ukrainian Canadian institutions, monuments, and memorials such as Ukrainian churches, and the Taras Shevchenko monument will also be included.

Students between the ages of 14 to 22, of Ukrainian descent or simply with an interest in Ukrainian identity and multiculturalism must apply before November 1, 2013. This educational forum is limited to 12 candidates who meet the selection criteria.

Cost: $950 includes local travel, hotel accommodation, all meals, educational program, participants’ handbook, training and facilitators. Please note this does not include air travel or costs to or from Ottawa. $700 for students in Ottawa who do not require hotel accommodation.

Bursaries have been provided through a grant from the Shevchenko Foundation
for qualifying students. (Please enquire)
