The Democracy through Dialogue pilot program seeks to democratize the Burnaby school board using an asset-based youth empowerment model. I intend to use dialogue to unearth what aspects of their public education the youth community wants to change and then work with local stake holders to establish the mechanisms necessary for sustainable structural change. By supporting the implementation of structural change within the local school board, as determined by the community, the youth will have the mechanism to represent their voice and foster a more civilly engaged network of young citizens.
