Symposium

“The Symposium exposed me to many different pro-life networks in Canada.  It enabled me to connect with other pro-life students across Canada, sharing ideas and strategies for future work.” – student feedback

Promoting the pro-life message on university campuses is not an easy task.  There are many obstacles and barriers to contend with, both in the classroom and out.  Discrimination, censorship, and controversy are issues but even more problematic is the student body’s apathetic attitude.

The Symposium equips students like you to break through these obstacles on your campuses.  The Symposium is much more than a conference.  This annual gathering of pro-life student leaders from across Canada is a weekend of learning, networking, sharing, and laughing; a potent combination of taking in the knowledge of experts in the Pro-Life Movement and learning practical skills and strategies in order to have an impact on campus.

The connections that students from across Canada form provide the students with a sense of connection to the Pro-Life Campus Movement and a sense of solidarity with their peers.  Students are able to share ideas and experiences, and develop relationships that extend long past the weekend.

For many students, the Symposium is a key moment in their pro-life journeys.  As one student commented, “The Symposium changed the way I approached pro-life campus activism.  It was a pivotal moment.”  A number of Pro-Life leaders in Canada have told us the Symposium was an important moment that spurred them inspiring them to take on leadership roles within the movement.

If you’re a student involved with a campus club or someone who’s interested in getting involved on campus, the Symposium is for you!
