About this Event

About Us: International Afro-Canadian Youth Convention on Human Rights, Mental Health & AI Technology 2026

International Afro-Canadian Youth Convention on Human Rights, Mental Health & AI Technology 2026 is a leading event created to engage, inspire, and empower individuals passionate about driving impactful change in their communities and the world. This unique convention will bring together a diverse group of young people from various cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds to address some of today’s most critical challenges, including human rights, mental health, and the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Our Mission

The mission of the International Afro-Canadian Youth Convention is to provide an inclusive and dynamic platform where Afro-Canadian youth and their allies can unite to explore and create solutions to pressing global issues. The convention seeks to equip attendees with the knowledge, resources, and connections to become proactive community change agents through open dialogue and meaningful collaboration. This event is designed to close the gap between advocacy efforts, mental health awareness, and the growing influence of AI technology on modern society.


Event Focus Areas

1. Human Rights:

The convention will address critical human rights issues affecting marginalized groups worldwide, focusing on challenges such as racial justice, gender equality, freedom of expression, and social equity. Participants will engage in in-depth discussions highlighting young people's role in advancing human rights, advocating for fairness, and creating a more just society.

2. Mental Health:

Mental health, especially within underserved and marginalized communities, is a crucial focus of the convention. Through interactive sessions, attendees will be provided practical tools to address mental health challenges, reduce stigma, and foster well-being. They will also gain insight into how mental health intersects with human rights and social justice and learn how to build supportive environments for themselves and others in their communities.

3. AI Technology:

With AI technology rapidly transforming industries and societies, young people need to understand its ethical considerations, vast opportunities, and potential risks. This portion of the event will explore how AI can protect human rights, improve mental health care, and drive social impact. It will also address concerns related to privacy, job displacement, and biases within AI systems, preparing attendees to approach AI in a thoughtful and informed way.

Why Attend?

- Insightful Discussions: Gain valuable insights from influential thought leaders, experts, activists, and innovators shaping the future of human rights, mental health, and AI technology.

- Interactive Workshops: Participate in practical, hands-on workshops that will allow you to develop new skills, network with peers, and collaborate on innovative solutions to current global challenges.

- Networking Opportunities: Build meaningful connections with professionals, mentors, and like-minded individuals from various sectors, opening doors for personal and professional growth.

Cultural Representation: Celebrate the rich diversity within the Afro-Canadian community and learn how to leverage cultural heritage to address global issues and promote inclusive solutions.

Who Should Attend?

This convention is open not only to youth but also to parents, guardians, and government representatives. It is ideal for individuals aged 0-65 interested in human rights, mental health advocacy, and the future of AI technology. Whether you are a student, a young professional, an activist, a parent, or an entrepreneur, this event provides a unique opportunity for personal development and collective action.
