SAME activists kicked off the conference with a dynamic presentation on how young people can use grassroots strategies, social media, and creative mobilization to make a difference in their schools, neighbourhoods and communities. What followed was a SAME presentation on the plight of migrant workers in Canada that mixed music, visuals, and activist testimonials.
