Applications Open for Rural Youth Anti-Racism Storytelling Retreat
The John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights is organizing an Anti-Racism Storytelling Gathering for youth from rural Alberta in the fall of 2023. We are looking for young people ages 16-30 from rural communities in Alberta to participate.
Call for rural youth ages 16-30 interested in pushing conversations on anti-oppression and anti-racism in their communities
The Rural Youth Anti-Racism Storytelling gathering will occur October 13-15, 2023 at Rundle’s Mission Retreat Centre near Pigeon Lake, Alberta. Participants will be supported with transportation, accommodations and food. There is no fee to attend. Programming will start on Friday, October 13, 2023 after 4:00 pm MST and finish on Sunday, October 15, 2023 by 3:00 pm MST.
During this gathering, participants will work with a team of other young people to reflect on experiences of oppression and racism in the rural context, how it is unique from the urban context, and identify key messages and stories that can help educate our communities. We will build creative content and shape a new narrative that considers the experiences and perspectives of young rural Albertan people.
Rundle’s Mission Retreat Centre has accessible bathrooms and guest rooms. We are happy to work together to make accommodations to support your participation. Please let us know in your application if you need any accommodations or needs around accessibility.
