A School for Tomorrow: The Story of Canada World Youth

By Mark Dickinson

The true story of Canada World Youth / Jeunesse Canada Monde, an NGO dedicated to providing an international education to global youths, interspersed with travel anecdotes (from Cameroon, Malaysia, India, to name a few) and poignant moments of cultural exchange. Across four decades and five continents, A School for Tomorrow tells-all about the rocky early trials and tribulations of this experimental education exchange, the joys, insights, and partnerships its participants found, and the internal turmoil and governmental indifference that led to its long demise. CWY-JCM had a wide reach, with 40,000 alumni in Canada and an equal number in the international community (Americas, Asia, Africa, Central and East Europe, and Oceania). Andrew Creeggan, Canadian musician and former member of Barenaked Ladies, is a CWY alumni. His experiences with the program are described in this book. In a review of his previous work, Canadian Literature writes that Mark Dickinson "gracefully intertwines biography, literary explication, and contemplations of emplaced cultural awakenings and shiftings." A School for Tomorrow was written, in part, as a response to Rom o Dallaire's The Peace, where Dallaire calls for a program, not unlike Canada World Youth, where people from around the world come together
