Still We Rise
Connecting Youth, Culture, and Wellness
What is Still We Rise?
Still We Rise is more than an event, it’s a movement of joy, resilience, and connection. Designed for Indigenous youth by Indigenous youth, this interactive gathering creates opportunities for connection, learning and play.
Whether joining us online or in person, students will participate in dynamic sessions that inspire confidence and celebrate culture.
In previous years, over 1,600 students from schools across Alberta and Canada have joined our virtual event, proving just how powerful it is when we come together. For the first time this year, the virtual event will be followed by an in person opportunity.
