CA-3-D004801001 2026-07-14T06:32:38 This project is part of Global Affairs Canada’s International Aboriginal Youth Internships (IAYI) initiative. The internships focus on increasing the awareness, engagement, and participation of Indigenous youth in international development, while providing them with opportunities to expand their employment skills or further their education. As part of the Walking Together: Futures for Youth project, the Victoria International Development Education Association (VIDEA), in partnership with the T'Sou-ke Nation, sends 140 Indigenous youth to three different countries. Interns develop meaningful and manageable skills, and experience in the areas of information and communications, organic and conservation agriculture, traditional crafting, community development, youth development, event organization, administration and finance, early childhood and primary education, sports and recreation, and trades.
