Last weekend at the Stratford Town Hall a very enthusiastic group of young Islanders were gathered at a “cross generational symposium on community engagement” to…

-Share stories…

-Learn from one another, the community and its members…

-Inspire ideas for further development…

-Commit to meaningful and measurable action…

What does this really mean? We want youth and adults to have meaningful conversation on issues and interests relating to community, to provide opportunity for leadership development, and share strengths, best practices and lessons for community youth development in an interactive learning environment.

Youth ConneXt PEI was formed by a group of Prince Edward Island individuals who are committed to youth engagement, dynamic communities, and skills and tools development for youth, youth service organizations, and government.

Here are some photos I took of these great Islanders sharing their talents and learning from each other:
