The OCDSB is excited to invite you for our sixth annual Black Youth Forum. This in-person event will take place on June 7th, 2023, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. at the University of Ottawa.
We invite Grades 7–12 students, family members, administrators, Trustees and community partners who identify as African, Black or Afro-African Caribbean and their allies.
This year, our theme is Black Joy, and we're excited to explore different aspects of this theme with you. The forum will feature multiple groups, each with their own unique perspective on Black Joy.
Through presentations, interactive activities, and discussions, these groups will examine topics such as Black representation, community, influence, and self-worth. You'll have the opportunity to learn, share, and engage with others in a fun and supportive environment.
Whether you're interested in exploring the role of Black representation in fostering joy, learning about the contributions of Black communities, or gaining insights into the importance of self-worth and confidence, there will be something for everyone at this year's Black Youth Forum.
