Our Pecha Kucha History

Since 2017 the Lloydminster Youth Council has been a part of hosting Pecha Kucha events for youth in Lloydminster. These speaking events have provided a powerful platform for young voices to be heard, celebrated, and inspired. Through this dynamic storytelling format, youth gain confidence, refine their public speaking skills, and share their unique perspectives with the community. These events are more than just presentations—they are life-changing experiences that empower young people to find their voice, connect with others, and realize the impact of their own stories.

2017: Raw
