Youth Council member talks WE Day, accessibility for rural students
A grade 12 student at Hunting Hills High School is relishing in his first experience as a member of the Education Minister’s Youth Council.
Cameron Litowski spent all of last weekend in Edmonton with many other youth from across Alberta discussing how they can make positive changes to the education system.
“We have students with such a diverse background, but all have a common motivator of helping other students have a better high school, middle school, and elementary experience,” Litowski says. “Just to see the collective passion within a single room was astounding. The genuineness of each individual spoke volumes of everyone’s character and why there were really there.”
During the meetings, which happen three times over the school year, the group was joined by three First Nations elders who conducted a blanket exercise.
