MCIC will not be hosting a major high school conference this year - look for our next one on Fair Trade in Fall 2010. 

Instead, were collaborating with the Global College’s EYE Summit (Sept. 21st), the MB4Youth Global Citizenship Conference (Nov. 20th), UNICEF’s HIV/AIDS Conference (Nov. 30th) and UNAC’s Human Rights Conference (Dec. 10th). 

And, we have an exciting new Generating Momentum project...

MCIC is looking for 8 young people to create a music video about ethical consumption.

MCIC is looking for 8 young people to work together to create a music video about ethical consumption. Learn about issues related to consumerism – child labour, Fair Trade, sustainability – and then collaborate with industry professionals on getting your message across.

You must be available on November 18th, January 6th and February 3rd and 4th to participate.

Selected applicants and their parent/guardians must sign a media release form.

The project is open to Grade 9 – 12 students with skill in music, writing, theatre or dance, filmmaking or video and activism. Travel subsidies for youth outside Winnipeg may be available.
