Joanna Wong - Asia-Pacific Video Contest

UVic alumna Joanna Wong (Pacific and Asian Studies ‘05) has won the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada’s 25@25 youth video contest for her video Canadian Resources 2.0. In 2003/04, Wong was one of the first interns in the Centre for Asia-Pacific Initiatives (CAPI) International Internship Program, working as the program officer for the Foundation for Child Development in Bangkok, Thailand. More recently, she has assisted CAPI in establishing new internship placements in Beijing, China, with Future Generations/China, a non-governmental organization that works to ensure a sustainable future for China through environmental education and sustainable development projects. The contest asked young Canadians to share their vision for Canada’s future with Asia, and set out to identify some of the 25 most important issues in the next 25 years of Canada-Asia relations.
