National Youth Roundtable | Table ronde pour les jeunes sur l’antiracisme
Mar 5, 2022
(GMT -5:00) Eastern Time
Youth across Canada are combatting racism using innovative and people-centered ideas. The Canadian Race Relations Foundation is convening youth on a national platform to highlight best practices and critical learnings of youth doing anti-racism work so we can support their initiatives and learn from their ideas.
Moderated by Toronto-based Filipino-Canadian spoken word poet Patrick de Belen, you’ll have the opportunity to hear from:
- Stardale Women’s Group
- Urban Alliance on Race Relations
- The Hua Foundation
The event will provide opportunities for youth and policymakers Canadian leaders to connect with one another through engaging activities and performances led by theater group Thirdspace Playback Theater.
We will be inviting youth participants to share their stories about their work in anti-racism through a participatory discussion form called Playback Theatre with members of Third Space Playback Theatre Edmonton. Playback Theatre is a form of improvisational theatre in which audience members tell stories from their lives and actors reflect them back through movement, words, and music. Playback theatre makes space for sharing personal stories in order to honour and make known collective experiences.
