Canadian Youth Culture [YMIN 0670 NP]

Course Description

In order to minister effectively to adolescents, an understanding of their context is essential. Designed to enhance the student’s understanding of youth culture in the multicultural, multi-ethnic and multifaceted Canadian context. Key to understanding Canadian youth culture is the evaluation of the kind of life created for Canadian teens and the life they create for themselves. Students have an opportunity to explore the elements of Canadian culture that shape today’s social structures and the youth culture within the Christian framework.

This course recognizes and examines the ever-changing definition of Canadian Youth Culture as Generation Z holds a whole new set of values on identity, purpose, social justice, and the media. This course will examine the shifts in culture and generations, with the hope of developing an appropriate way of ministering to today’s adolescents based on biblical absolutes and an awareness of cultural expectations.

This course will be delivered in-person from Tuesday to Saturday (9:00am to 4:00pm).
