Surrey Youth News & Updates – November 2020

Youth Idea Markets — You’re Invited
November 17–December 3 | 6–7pm | Microsoft Teams

Join us and other youth in an online Idea Market. Have real conversations about the experiences of youth online and help design an awareness campaign.

Youth are often asked to share or post intimate images online, therefore we want your voice and opinion in shaping this campaign on how to prevent harm and exploitation. No judgement. These sessions will be conducted online via Microsoft Teams and anonymity and confidentiality will be held to its highest standards. You will also receive a $10 iTunes and a $10 Tim Hortons gift card for participating.

In fact, a rise in clothing consumption and production has led to a dramatic increase in textile waste across the world. Come face-to-face with lots of Instagrammable ops of sustainable textiles through upcycled art, textile creations and objects about sustainability at this new exhibit.
