Imagineaction, a social justice program of the Canadian Teachers' Federation, is a teacher platform with the goal of encouraging a student-driven social action movement designed to:
- fit within current educational and societal contexts;
- be a flexible framework that offers space and support for
critical thinking, dialogue, collaboration, development, engagement, and
action;

of socially just citizenship through engagement with community working
towards a sustainable future.
