The Advice Constellation: A Mentorship Circle in Edmonton
About this Event
Hi Edmonton!
Join ECHOFORM for The Advice Constellation, a public evening bringing together youth, mentors, and community leaders for honest conversation, not just a panel to sit through, not a performance to watch, just real talk about what mentorship actually makes possible.
The evening opens with a Mentorship Panel featuring community leaders and changemakers, followed by The Advice Constellation Roundtable, small groups rotating between mentors and peers, everyone contributing insight, no one just receiving it.
This is the closing public session of ECHOFORM's 2026 Artivism Cohort, and it's open to everyone, bring a friend, a sibling, a parent, anyone who should be in a room like this.
Spots are limited to 20 for the public. RSVP early.
Free, always. Refreshments, provided. No application. Just show up ready to talk and listen.
ECHOFORM acknowledges the Indigenous peoples whose lands and territories we live, gather and work upon.
Organizer Note
From Anurika (Rika) Onyenso, Founder of ECHOFORM:
"This session is one of my favourite parts of the whole cohort, because it's built on a belief I hold deeply: mentorship isn't something that only flows from older to younger, from expert to learner. It moves in every direction. Some of the wisest things I've heard all year have come from the young people in our cohort, not despite their age, but because of everything they carry. This evening is designed to make that reciprocity visible, mentors and youth in the same room, both giving, both receiving. If you've ever wondered what real mentorship looks like when it's not one-directional, come find out with us."
