Youth Delegation
SCIC's Youth Delegation opportunities support Saskatchewan-based youth, ages 18-35, to take part in conferences, delegations, and experiential learning opportunities in Canada and around the world.
Through these experiences, youth delegates have a chance to build leadership skills, grow their networks, and bring new perspectives back to their communities.
What is Youth Delegation?
Youth Delegation Opportunities give young people the chance to engage with global issues through real conversations, events, and learning spaces beyond their everyday environment.

As part of these opportunities, SCIC works with youth delegates to provide financial and logistical support where possible, helping create a meaningful experience for learning, growth, and connection.

Dastu Omer
DELEGATE | AWID FORUM 2024
In December 2024, SCIC supported Dastu Omer as Saskatchewan’s youth delegate to attend AWID Forum in Bangkok, Thailand, through the ICN. This global gathering brought together feminist leaders, activists, and advocates to discuss gender justice, intersectionality, and human rights.
​
One of the most impactful sessions she attended was How We Heal: A Feminist Approach to Art Therapy for Women Living in Conflict. Initially unsure about art’s role in advocacy, she witnessed how creative expression through dance, weaving, and collaborative storytelling became a powerful tool for resilience and collective healing. “I saw firsthand how art can bridge cultural divides, empower survivors, and create safe spaces for expression,” she recalled.
