Table Topics
IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD
What is Table Topics in Your Neighbourhood?
We're inviting you to host a conversation with friends (with food on us!), so you can talk about important topics that help you envision the future of Canada. This time around, we've got an ambitious goal of seeing Table Topics happen in every neighbourhood, and that includes YOURS. We want to reach every federal riding in Canada, yes, that means 343 different Table Topics.
Help us reach our goal, and get trained with us to host important convos in your neighbourhood!
We want you to get into the BIG questions
— What do young people want to see in Canada?
— What do you want Canada's future to look like?
— What do you want democracy to look like?
— What do you want for our climate and energy?
— What do you want for education, health care, etc?
— What about the future of work and jobs?
Why should you participate?
Living in an ideal, functioning society depends on what we're willing to do to create those ideals — we can start by having a simple conversation. In an era where young people feel lonelier and more disconnected than ever, learning how to communicate with one another productively is the perfect starting point. We’re here to help you have important community convos and think about what’s next for Canada!
Register below for a Table Topics training, and you’ll receive a how-to guide on creating intentional spaces for discussing politics and democracy with your community.

— Training on civics, democracy, facilitation and communication skills
— Nationwide connections and networking opportunities
— Table Topics Toolkit
— Democracy Deck to keep your convos flowing (get access here)
