In October of 2015, Explore150 launched the Places of Change National Digital Storytelling Contest. A
$1,000 scholarship was offered as the grand prize. A series of workshop modules were also developed
and organized across Canada both in-person and over video conferencing.
A series of regional outreach and
engagement activities also provided
youth with opportunities for
involvement in the project.
According to the Canadian Heritage
Youth Take Charge survey, 83% of
youth participants agree that as a result
of Explore150, they realize they have
something in common with other
young people in Canada.
