Participants
Summit participants are generally between the ages of 16-19, attending from schools in the greater Victoria area, including Pearson College. Participants are an integral to the Summit as they are the backbone of the event. For the Summit to be a success, it is very important that the participants research the issues to be discussed thoroughly, in order to ensure a high level of engagement in discussion forums. Further details on research will be provided in the participant’s package (to be sent as soon as a school has registered).
