Events for All Ages

The 2008 ACM has something for all of us - from the very youngest to the oldest. 

CanUUdle VIII

CanUUdle VIII is a journey or rather a RevolUUtion starting from within and moving into the broader world re(examining, inventing) our approach to change. Change can come in the form of wide social movements or a simple shift in perspective. Each of these changes is inherently valuable and should be equally supported and nurtured. CanUUdle VIII is a conference where youth and youth allies from across Canada can explore new mediums and perspectives on this this constantly changing world world, and how to stimulate intentional change for the better. All done within a ere of fun and positive empowerment with the goal of inspiration. Join us for RevolUUtion CanUUdle VIII as we bring down the house with inclusively, radical fun and spirtual-tastic adventure.

Youth and Youth Ministry Concurrent Sessions

Sunday 2:45 pm - 4:15 pm
E6. Age in a Fishbowl:
The purpose of this session is to promote understanding and trust between youth and adults. Traditionally this activity happens at youth conferences. Fortunately, we’re not too attached to tradition and see the value in sharing this exercise. In this workshop, you will get the chance to ask questions, gain insight, and learn the value of others’ perspectives on a variety of issues. This is what multigenerational day is all about!
Rose Roberts & CAYAC Leaders cuc-cayac@yahoogroups.com

Sunday 2:45 pm - 4:15 pm
E7. Guns or Butter (Canadian version) part 1:
A game for 25-35 youth and adults, trying to increase the real wealth and power of their country, and at the same time make sure that it is secure from attack by other nations. It helps participants understand current events at a visceral level.

F7. Counter-Oppression and Our Faith:
Our UU principles encourage us to embrace diversity and respect the inherent worth and dignity of every person. But how can we actively dismantle oppression in our lives, in our congregations, and in the larger community? Working from participants’ experiences and identities, we will explore how we can truly create a more equitable faith and society.

Sunday 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
F9. Passing the Torch to the Global Leaders of Tomorrow:
The Role of the UU-UNO: Our UU principles encourage us to embrace diversity and respect the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
