This second session of the Arctic Youth Network Webinar Series will showcase the pathways youth have taken to be involved in national and international Arctic governance. The session welcomes speakers from the emerging Arctic Indigenous Youth Council and aims to promote international alignment on youth agendas to collectively bring their perspectives to international fora and decision-makers. Stay tuned as we present our speakers!

The Arctic Youth Network Webinar Series is part of the larger AYN engagement plan that enables youth from around the world to learn about new projects, gain insight into new ideas or skills, and contribute their experiences. The direction and topics for the webinars are shaped by the priorities and interests identified through consultations involving youth from throughout the circumpolar regions, and addresses gaps in the mobilization and dissemination of critical information regarding opportunities available to and for Arctic youth. The results of the webinars will be recorded, summarized into accessible formats, and shared as long-term educational resources.

Violence and Reconciliation Feedback Session
2020-11-05 16:00 - 18:00
This presentation narrates the in-depth analysis of gender, violence and reconciliation, ensuring that each topic renders the realities in the Arctic. The presentation is well grounded in Inuit oral stories to tease out the binary perspective that for long centred the norm of developing national policies. To envision equality, the diversity of human sexuality is brought into light, applying the Arctic peoples’ imagination on how to appease the spirits and take on responsibilities as human actors. ‘Reconciliation’ is examined addressing the colonizer’s mindset on one-sided history of exclusion, and how dissimilar peoples relish diverse human realities. Statistical information is provided throughout the narrative.
