Calling all youth creators across Canada! Share your story by making a short film this summer.

The Campaign runs from June 18, 2020–August 1, 2020. Submit your video by August 1, 2020:  Submission Link

We invite you to make a short 30–180 second film, offering the following ideas as possible topics.

POSSIBLE TOPICS FOR FILMS

• What does belonging mean to you?
• How do you think about diversity?
• What actions can we take to resist injustice and racism and strive for different worlds?
• Share about a time when you navigated a personal journey of starting over. In what ways do you derive strength and wisdom from this experience?
• Share about a time when you sought a connection with others. This connection seeking could be from long ago or still ongoing. What was important to you about this sense of connection?
• Share lessons from your experience: Show how you understand belonging, diversity, social justice, personal journeys, or community in times of crisis or in times of peace.
