Join youth leaders from across Canada for a 3-part Master Class

Join youth leaders from across Canada for a three-part virtual Master Class focused on strengthening youth voice and inspiring change. Young Canadians have a vision for an inclusive Canada. Join this master class, facilitated by young leaders like you, as we explore the art of storytelling with a focus on social justice and inclusive community building. Everyone has a powerful story to tell and a lesson to teach others. At a time when physical distancing is necessary, we have an opportunity to think of new ways of learning from one another and creating a sense of community when it’s needed most. Through this masterclass, you will gain new skills for creating change and have an opportunity to think about what your experiences can teach others. Your story holds power and you have the ability to inspire your peers to realise their potential, act as engaged citizens and build a strong foundation for inclusion. We’ll show you how!

Power of ONE- Stop hate with paint

Let’s stop hate with paint

Join us for a 60-minute virtual paint activity to reflect on the power of
words!

Ever heard the saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will
never hurt me”… we don’t believe this is true .. we know words have a lot
of power and can change the way we feel.

The PowerofONE team will be hosting a community conversation and paint
activity to discuss the power of language, reflecting on our own
experiences, and reclaiming words.

Materials you will need:

Paint- black is required and the rest of the colours are your choice –
watercolour or acrylic paint will work ( you can use anything you have)

Paint brushes

Canvas of your choice

( you want to have a comfortable space with a little bit of water and some
napkins when you start this activity)

This program is part of an annual Culture Days series @BramptonLibrary

Wednesday, October 21, 2020 from 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
