Cayden Kuoran Zhang

Cayden Zhang is an ambitious student from Edmonton, Canada. He deeply believes in the value of learning and reading, and hopes to spend his future studying literature and writing. He founded Civitical, a movement encouraging youth digital literacy and policy participation which he had the opportunity to represent in New York at the HLPF 2025, and now LitLore, a project dedicated to spreading critical and in-depth analysis of various texts, helping youth uncover underlying critiques of the world in both literature and everyday interactions. He has two dogs, and would like to retire to a serene mountain home someday.
