French-speaking young immigrants bring vitality and ethno-cultural diversity that nurture Francophone communities throughout Canada. Developing innovative strategies to enhance the integration and inclusion of these youth is one of the priorities of the R\u00e9seaux en immigration francophone (RIF). This session will present different initiatives implemented by the RIF and their partners to answer the needs of these young people.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>What I Am Bringing Here\u00a0 (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/J8Gs4WQU_ok\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong><\/span>\r\nMarie Galophe, Coordinator, R\u00e9seau en immigration francophone de la Saskatchewan (RIF \u2013 SK)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Adoptive Grandparents for Immigrant Youth\u00a0\u00a0<strong>(<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/GAwwtwz52wA\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong><\/strong><\/span>\r\nSalwa Meddri, Coordinator, R\u00e9seau en immigration francophone du Manitoba (RIF \u2013 MB)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Immigrant Youth Self-Esteem in Schools\u00a0\u00a0<strong>(<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/QiWBhibdT3U\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong><\/strong><\/span>\r\nJean-Claude N\u2019da,\u00a0Project Officer, R\u00e9seau de soutien \u00e0 l'immigration francophone du Centre-Sud-Ouest de l'Ontario (RIF \u2013 CSO)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Cultural Mediation as an Innovative Vehicle for Integration\u00a0\u00a0<strong>(<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/CROlXZG3L1Q\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong><\/strong><\/span>\r\nV\u00e9ronic Th\u00e9riault, Coordinator, R\u00e9seau en immigration francophone\u00a0du Nouveau-Brunswick (RIF \u2013 NB)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n1:30 PM to 2:50 PM\r\n<h3><span><strong>Session 3 \u2014 Promoting Engagement and Participation among Council and Committee Members<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\nChair: Mike Scott, Coordinator, Timmins Local Immigration Partnership\r\n\r\nAfter the initial few years of a new partnership, immigration partnerships must deal with how to maintain engagement and participation among council and committee members in order to sustain momentum. The refrain is often heard that everyone is busy with competing demands on their time. Thus, the immigration partnerships must ensure that they utilize all strategies possible to support continuing participation, and that their activities\u00a0remain meaningful and relevant to those they wish to engage. In this session we will discuss strategies for\u00a0promoting continuing engagement and participation in order to ensure that immigration partnerships can achieve their goals.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong><span>The Unique Dynamics of Regional Local Immigration Partnerships\u00a0 (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/hczLT_PAeWA\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/span><\/strong>\r\nSteve Reynolds, Executive Director, Regional Connections, and Elaine Burton Saindon, Coordinator, Pembina Valley Local Immigration Partnership<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>When Immigration is Not a Community Priority: How to Keep LIP Members Engaged in Smaller, Less Diverse Communities\u00a0 (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/DjgOTad53D4\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong><\/span>\r\nAnnette Sharkey, Executive Director, Social Planning Council for the North Okanagan<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>What Works?

Many of the immigration\u00a0partnerships across the country have been grappling with how to make the case for immigration and address anti-immigrant sentiment within their region. In this session, we will share practical advice on information and strategies that can be used to raise public awareness of the benefits of immigration, work with the media to frame immigration stories, and utilize other strategies to promote more favorable attitudes toward immigrants and immigration.\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>Making the Economic Case for Immigration into Smaller Urban and Rural Communities across Canada\u00a0 (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/_kr0CAkMS6Q\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/strong><\/span>\r\nDavid Campbell, President, Jupia Consultants<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong><span>Fighting Bigotry with $ and Businesses (<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/OeAG9cB9V20\" target=\"_blank\">Video<\/a>)<\/span><\/strong>\r\nNicholas Keung, Immigration Reporter, The Toronto Star<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span><strong>What Makes Canadians Care?
