2019 Summary

2019 Theme: Collaboration that Counts

Collaboration is more than playing nicely together in the sandbox. Effective cross-sector collaboration can stretch resources further, generate new insights, allow for authentic knowledge-user engagement, and accelerate improvements in health and wellbeing for Canada’s children and youth. 

But in this continuously transforming field, what are the practical models that bring us together? This year, we took a candid look at the processes that drive successful collaboration across sectors. Participants heard from and interacted with teams who are leading innovative Canadian projects in various stages, and learned about the collaborative mechanisms that are helping them to achieve their goals. Child and youth researchers and advocates; businesspeople; youth and policymakers shared their processes and lessons learned; sought input from the experiences of other participants; and defined the tangible benefits that each of us can gain by working together.
