About PPX
PPX is the Public Policy Forum's (PPF) primary youth-centred initiative. PPF launched PPX in February of 2009 with a mission to increase youth engagement in mainstream public policy discourse by making conversations around Canada's public policy challenges accessible, meaningful, and relevant to young people.
PPX brings together young Canadians from different regions, disciplines, and sectors to think about, inform, and generate approaches to tackle global and Canadian public challenges. PPX focuses on cultivating inter-disciplinary and inter-generational thinking and uses a co-creation, open source approach to develop projects and event formats.
