This year’s theme is: Conflict, Climate and Migration: The Environmental Effects of War and its Impact on Displacement

The Cross-Canada Online Youth Action Summit is an opportunity for high school students and teachers across the country to learn with free, ready to deliver activities about the laws that protect people in situations of armed conflict. The summit helps youth take action on issues such as the impact of war on the environment, refugees, child soldiers, and gender-based violence. Ideas are exchanged between schools during the April Humanitarian Exchange and at our National Online Showcase in May.
