Thank you to all of the youth who came out to our Data in Action workshops! After combining data from the 2023 Youth Impact Survey and input from Sense Making Sessions, we had a list of over 600 actions or suggestions that youth wanted to see in Waterloo Region. (That’s from hearing from over 2,500 youth!)
To clarify, narrow down, and prioritize the actions into a shorter list, we held four different workshops with youth to get their input. We also spoke with CYPT Adult members at an all member meeting in June and a voting member meeting in September to get information about feasibility, resourcing, and other details so youth could make informed decisions.
Shout out to all the youth who took part in the three workshops at Communitech on August 20, September 20, and October 18! And special thanks to the Township of Wilmot for hosting the fourth and final workshop – and of course the youth who took part! Thank you for sharing your input and helping shape the future of Waterloo Region.
