Youth Engagement in Ontario: Towards a Community of Practice Forum.
The goal of the forum was to share learning, expand networks and explore collaboration for capacity building within youth engagement.
Background:
Youth Voices is the Youth Engagement Unit of the Centre for Health Promotion, University of Toronto. Youth Voices seeks to promote Youth Engagement, Expression, Empowerment and Exchange through youth-driven media and participatory research.
Youth Voices works locally and internationally to involve young people from diverse backgrounds in issue identification, community action and global education. Our focus is on the use of media arts and technologies for community development and applied research. This "youth in action" approach combines youth engagement, youth media, e-Health and knowledge exchange through evidence-based resources and best practices.

Engage youth in expressions of their lives and communities.
Identify issues and themes of importance to young people.
Plan projects that address youth concerns and priorities.
