Emerging Leaders Workshop
Making the Future
Young people are proving that democracy thrives when they take the lead. They are already shaping the economic, cultural, and civic systems that will define Canada’s democratic future. Across the country, emerging leaders are responding to the cost of living, digital disruption, and declining trust in institutions with creativity, courage, and collective action.

Strengthening democracy's future depends on equipping young leaders with the context, confidence and network of peers to drive meaningful change.
At DXC26, the Dais convened emerging leaders for a sold-out workshop to explore how rising living costs, digital disruption, and declining institutional trust are reshaping civic life, and how young people are responding.
Across four sessions, participants examined why young voters are shifting politically; how the attention economy shapes civic power; and how precarious work is being turned into community organizing and democratic participation. The day closed with We the People: A Freestyle Social with Anthony Morgan, turning debate into connection and inviting participants to rethink what democracy really means in a polarized world.
