Picture this: youth from every corner of Canada coming together to learn, grow, and make a difference. But this isn't just any learning experience—this is HIP's National Youth to Youth Experience, where young people immerse themselves in the rich teachings of Indigenous cultures and take bold steps to protect our planet.
Imagine sitting around a campfire, listening to the wisdom of Indigenous Elders, or immersing yourself in hands-on, traditional Indigenous land-based teachings, passed down through generations. This experience isn’t just about learning the past; it’s about building a sustainable future rooted in respect, connection, and action.
This program remains dedicated to fostering cultural understanding, reconciliation, and personal growth among Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth from across Canada. HIP has consistently led initiatives dedicated to responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, specifically focusing on numbers 62 to 66.
Engage in a curriculum led by Indigenous Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and educators, teaching youth about residential schools, Treaties, and the historical and contemporary contributions of Indigenous peoples to Canada.
Acquire tools and ideas to be a good steward of the land, learning through direct interaction with nature.
Participate in forums that encourages dialogue and interaction between Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth from diverse backgrounds. This will include workshops, seminars, and interactive sessions both online and in-person
Participate in cross-cultural exchanges that allow Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth to live and learn together, fostering empathy, understanding, and solidarity.
At the heart of our program is a profound commitment to inspiring youth from diverse backgrounds to come together to learn, share, and grow. Through shared experiences, collaborative projects, and open dialogue, participants form bonds that transcend geographical boundaries and cultural differences, creating a powerful force for positive change.
Become an Alumni and advocate for social change, environmental sustainability, and the preservation of Indigenous traditions.
