Yeg Dignity CAMPAIGN 2020

YEG Dignity was catalyzed by members of JHC’s Youth Action Project back in 2015 as a way to use creative means to speak out on issues related to poverty in our city and change the conversation in regards to our community’s most vulnerable, letting them tell their own stories! 

This year, In the spirit of responding to community needs, the theme for YEG Dignity 2020 is Dignity During a Pandemic: No One Left Behind. Our focus is collectively exploring what dignity looks like during the COVID-19 pandemic; from folks on the margins to the centre, to understand how experiences of dignity interface with disaster. 

The 2020 YEG Dignity Campaign is focused on opening spaces of connection, education and creativity at a local level, to learn first-hand what dignity means to everyday Edmontonians’; utilizing podcasts, performance and visual arts.
