The Canadian Embassy in Mexico is Excited to Announce the Canada-Mexico Youth LAB

To increase collaboration and give visibility to the important contribution of young Mexicans and Canadians in the bilateral Canada-Mexico relationship, both current and future, the Embassy of Canada in Mexico and the Embassy of Mexico in Canada will open a call for applications for a new Canada-Mexico Youth Lab. We want to ensure that youth voices are heard on the range of key issues in the relationship. This is an experimental mechanism designed to promote innovation and incorporate the creativity and concerns of youth in order to reach the common goal of achieving a future that is more secure, more inclusive and fairer for everyone.

The program is an unparalleled opportunity to virtually connect and exchange with young people across Mexico and Canada, to have first-hand access to key speakers, and to be able to make your voice heard. We hope the LAB will generate lasting bonds between all participants and with leaders from the public, private, and non-profit sectors.

Who can apply?

Application is open for Canadian and Mexican citizens between the ages of 18 and 29 years old. Candidates must master one of our three official languages (English, French or Spanish) and be able to demonstrate basic-level capacity or a sustained commitment to learning a second official language. During the course of the initiative, candidates will exchange in different languages in order to improve their fluency in their second language. Application will be open starting February 10th and close February 28th, 2021.
