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

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

not require hotel accommodation.
