Montreal Youth Voices – ClimAdos exhibition and discussion // Les voix des jeunes de Montréal – Exposition et discussion ClimAdos
This event celebrates youth leadership in climate action by showcasing the ClimAdos project which is a participatory research initiative where young Montrealers create and share their perspectives on climate change through cellphone videos (cellphilms). The event amplifies authentic youth voices and demonstrates why involving young people in environmental projects is essential.
Cellphilm screening (on loop, 2PM-6PM): Discover the cellphilms created by young people from Montreal North created as part of the ClimAdos project.
Participative discussion (6PM-7PM): Exchange with the David Suzuki Foundation and the ClimAdos teams about youth engagement in climate action and participatory research initiatives on climate change.
