TL;DR

For the 2023-2024 program year, we are refocusing on the development of Black Indigenous Solidarity content that better integrates community needs. To accomplish this, CRE will host 6 virtual (or in-person when possible) engagement sessions. During these sessions, we will be encouraging Black/Indigenous/Afro-Indigenous youth to meaningfully reflect on their understanding of solidarity, identify community needs, and conceptualize activities to achieve this.

    The Words in Motion program provides spaces for youth between 18-29 to reconnect to their traditional languages in an online virtual format. Young language speakers can facilitate an introduction in their Indigenous language to youth peers, creating leadership skills, community building and interaction, and developing their capacity for peer mentorship.
