Join us for Global Citizens Forum 2026, Vancouver Island University’s annual two-day celebration of community, culture, and connection.
Experience engaging performances, interactive workshops, wellness conversations, and digital innovation as we come together to learn from one another and shape the communities we live in.
From cultural performances to hands-on workshops, from meaningful wellness dialogues to conversations about technology and the future, this is your space to connect, explore, and grow.
This year’s Forum focuses on building stronger communities for a changing world through dialogue, shared experiences, and collaborative learning.
Highlights include:
- Spiritual Cleansing Ceremony
- Salsa & Bachata Dance Workshop
- Smart Devices, Smarter Privacy: A Youth-Centered Privacy-by-Design Workshop
- Turntabling Workshop
- Movie Night with Thrive & Culture Couch
- Community Connection Tables
- Cultural Performances and Interactive Sessions
Whether you attend one session or participate across both days, the Forum offers meaningful opportunities to engage with students, faculty, staff, and community partners.
The full schedule will be updated here shortly.
