Session

What?

Session is our flagship event. Youth from across Manitoba spend five days debating current issues in a model parliamentary setting. Session is a unique opportunity to interact with other passionate young people, be exposed to a variety of viewpoints and perspectives, and meet current and former politicians from the Manitoba Legislature and the House of Commons.

Our event is five full days, including overnights. Overnight activities include team-building, speech-writing, relaxing, and participating in low-organized games.

• Date: December 26-31
• Location (debate): Manitoba Legislative Building
• Location (overnight): TBD
• Age range: 16-20
