On February 25th 2015, 10 Canada World Youth participants were chosen to attend a meeting in Jakarta with 9 Canadian senators. The senators were there to meet with parliamentarians and governments to strengthen the relationship between Canada and Indonesia. We created the presentation the day before, staying up until 2AM to finish it! Our presentation described a Youth Leaders in Action, Canada World Youth trip. We went over the core values of the program which include the counterpart relationship, living with host families and being a part of a group as well as volunteering and building community in the places you're living. We also talked about community engagement, sector projects in Indonesia, working with the local youth and Educational Activity Days. We also explained the skills that we had gained through participating in a trip like this and what being a part of this program means to us. We performed the Saman dance, had lunch with the senators and had a few moments to really have conversations with them about Canada World Youth. It was an incredible opportunity and I know we were all very proud of our presentation.
