Since 2019, Table Topics has focused on a topic newsworthy or relevant to young changemakers, helping you feel comfortable sharing your views, listening to others, and engaging in respectful dialogue.

Why Table Topics?
You’ve heard it’s taboo to discuss politics at the dinner table? We say, F*** THAT! Research shows the more young people talk about politics, the more likely they are to take action. But if your friends, family or roommates avoid the topic, where will you be able to vent about the government?
That's why we created Table Topics.
Each event features panelists discussing youth-related issues, with participants engaging in group discussions and sharing their experiences.
And because food makes everything better, we share a meal or offer meal credits so you can enjoy a bite before, during, or after the event. We believe in feeding both your mind and your stomach!
Travelling Table Topics
After hosting 13 Table Topics events, we made way for Travelling Table Topics - led by Canadian youth, for youth like YOU.
We provided the tools and resources for youth leads across the country to make Table Topics their own with was panel-style conversation about a chosen topic.

Round Table Topics
Let's get together.
This time around, the conversations are centred around topics in direct relation to democracy, community and inclusion.
Round Table Topics empowers you to voice your opinions on issues that matter to Canadian youth, even when conversations get uncomfortable, fostering more respectful dialogue.
