Youth Engagement Strategy Workshops
The Youth Engagement Strategy engages young people on the topic of health care in communities across BC.
There are many questions about what's best for Canada's health care system, yet there is little youth-accessible information and opportunities for youth-based dialogue on this issue. The workshops provide a space for much-needed youth-to-youth education on systems of health care.
HEALTH CARE: THE PRICE IS RIGHT?
Should health care be a right for all or a privilege for some? This workshop engages participants in interactive activities that ask the questions: - What do youth believe makes a healthy community?
- How does Canada’s Public Health Care System work?
- What does private participation in health care mean for public health?
Youth will learn how to take action to ensure health care is accessible for all. Health care made fun (finally!)
Through facilitated discussions and interactive activities, youth participants explore the values behind universal care, encounter the realities of for-profit health care, and discuss the history of our healthcare system.
This workshop is a valuable tool to raise the vital voices of youth in the movement to strengthen and protect Canada’s public health care system. We explore: - What is Health Care and why is it so important?
- Who pays for health care and how much would health services cost in the absence of public health care?
- Health care as a right to all people
- The impact of for-profit involvement on our current system
- What youth can do to take proactive steps toward the good health of their communities
