Apply to Next Up Winnipeg
for Ages 18-32
NEXT UP WINNIPEG
APPLICATIONS ARE DUE SEPTEMBER 22
Next Up was created by a
community of people who wanted to help emerging leaders (that’s you!)
develop new and better skills, smarts and ideas. Three years ago, CCEDNet and
the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives - Manitoba brought this innovative
program to Winnipeg and we can't wait to get started with our 4th Next Up
cohort.
The program is intense. Over 6.5 months, we’ll dive into a number of topics and disciplines, combining theory, practice, deep thinking, and hard skills. We’ll look at how change is made in society. We’ll meet some of the most innovative change-makers in Manitoba — from the non-profit, labour, business and public sectors and from Indigenous, settler and newcomer communities—who are working for a better world.

Do you wonder what the future
holds for our world? Are you concerned about things like climate change,
poverty, public health and education, housing and government policy? Do you
believe that global and local issues are connected? Do you feel that our
economic system is focused on profit at the expense of people and the planet?
Do you believe it is possible for us, as communities, to do things differently
at home and abroad, to eradicate poverty, to deal with conflict peacefully, to
rise to the climate challenge fairly, and to ensure everyone has access to good
public health and education services?
If you answered yes to many
of the questions above, this program may be for you.

Next Up has a number lenses
through which we explore social change. Lenses include decolonization,
anti-oppression and equity. Climate Justice is a key lens for the program as
Climate Change is one of the core challenges of our time. The lenses are
used as a grounding point - not every session is about the lenses. The lenses
inform how we think about solutions and our approach to social change.

- Passionate about changing the
way the world works, and committed to being active at the centre of social
change
- Certain that there are better
ways for us to take care of each other and the planet
- Willing to take a risk, join a
team, and learn more about yourself
- What level of commitment is
required from me, and when?
- By joining Next Up you’re
committing yourself to an extraordinarily rigorous and exciting program.
The program runs from Oct. to May, 2018 and during that time you will:
