Spread the Word

You're back home - you had an amazing time and want to let everyone know! How can you "unpack" your thoughts and share your feelings? Why not write an article for your local newspaper? Or do a radio interview? Blog about your experiences. You get the idea. Here are examples of what others have done, and helpful tips for spreading the word.

Tell Your Story

Getting Started

Think of an idea — a focus around which you can centre your story.

For example, you could write a story about your experiences at Encounters with Canada for your local community media — your local newspaper, community TV and/or radio stations, your school newspaper, and/or your Member of Parliament’s bulletin or website.

Here are a few examples of some recently published articles on the EWC experience. We hope you find them inspiring!
