About this opportunity

Goals for Tomorrow is a national, youth-led virtual festival run by Aga Khan Foundation Canada with the Students Commission of Canada. It brings young people from across Canada together for one day on Zoom to explore global citizenship, international development and the Sustainable Development Goals. Programming is organised around five pillars: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership. It is free to attend.

What you get:

  • A full day of youth-led presentations and TED-style talks
  • Interactive workshops and design challenges
  • Panel discussions and dialogues with people working in international development
  • Creative showcases, multimedia storytelling and mini-documentary screenings
  • Networking with young changemakers from across Canada
  • A chance to take part in the National Photovoice Challenge
  • Resources and pathways for staying involved after the festival
  • Recordings afterwards: AKFC confirms the sessions are recorded

What you'll do:

  • Register online, then join on Zoom on October 17, 2026
  • Attend from 11:00 to 19:00 Eastern; you can come for part of the day rather than all of it
  • Take part in workshops, discussions and showcases on the SDG themes that interest you

Key dates:

  • Festival day: October 17, 2026, 11:00 to 19:00 Eastern
  • Registration is open now and AKFC publishes no separate closing date
  • The 2026 Call for Youth Presenters has closed, so this is attendance rather than presenting

More information:

  • Delivered by Aga Khan Foundation Canada with the Students Commission of Canada

  • Students and emerging changemakers
  • Youth-led organisations and community groups
  • Educators and youth-serving professionals
