In Toronto there are 108 secondary school and over 89,000 attending students today, but how many out of the 89,000 students acutually participate in the events running in Toronto?
Living in Toronto we are privleged to have so many opportunities in participating in events, because we have a wide range of cultures which lets us educate from each other by our backgrounds, beliefs, morals, religion and the list goes on. We have all these opportunities which can overwhelm youths because some events could be extremly controversial, for example the gay pride parade. These events should be in the school curriculum because all these events are educational. Here's a list on how these events could benfit youths,
- Gay pride parade teaches people that thier sexual orientation doesn't change that they're humans. At the parade they give out condoms, which can benefit youths to engage in safe sex, preventing HIV/AIDS.
-Nuit Blanche lets youth and adults to express themselves through paintings by illusions and self-perspective. This event can benefit youths by making them look outside the box, and to explore the world.
They're so many more events which happen in Toronto, which lets youths explore the world. We are one of the luckiest countries that has all these events which our governement allows, and accepts. If you go travel to anyother place, people are required to look a certain way, wear certain pieces of clothes, but in Toronto............you wear what you like, and show your personalitily the way you want to. With different events running every month, you start to develop your own thoughts, your own beliefs and much more.
