CA-3-D004439001 2026-07-10T06:32:42 This project is part of Global Affairs Canada’s International Youth Internship Program (IYIP), funded by the Government of Canada's Youth Employment Strategy. The IYIP is designed to offer Canadian post-secondary graduates the opportunity to gain professional experience in international development. In consortium with the Réseau des carrefours jeunesse-emploi du Québec, Université TÉLUQ, Ricochet and Funambules Médias, Alternatives sends 120 interns to 10 countries as part of the ICT Driving Social Change project. Project activities include: setting up a training program on how to use information and communication technology (ICT) as an international development tool for interns; developing and facilitating educational games in math, chemistry and physics; developing an online discussion forum every year to share best practices and tools; practical work with Canadian organizations working in the social communications, ICT, media or digital security sectors; and providing training on communications strategies in support of work on international development (governance, gender equality and environment).
