What will you have stood for?

Rethos.com Roundtable Discussion on Youth, Apathy and Engagement Rethos.com invites you to attend a series of thought-provoking roundtable discussions called: “What will you have stood for?” A panel of thought-leaders from the non-profit sector, academia and the media industry will be speaking out about youth, apathy and civic engagement. Are young people apathetic towards social change? Are they more socially conscious than every before but in a way that’s more difficult to understand than previous generations? What causes some young people to become change innovators and how are they using technology to advance their endeavors? We invite you to join Rethos.com, our distinguished panel of thinkers, members of the media and students from Columbia University and the University of Toronto as we weigh-in on these pertinent questions.

“What will you have stood for?” will be filmed and released on the Rethos platform and other media outlets.
