Harmony Movement will be presenting a diversity and social action workshop at “Youth do Vote and Care” a student conference hosted by Operation Vote:
The Next Edition (NXE) on September 30, 2011, at St. Lawrence Centre for Performing Arts, 27 Front Street East. With the upcoming Provincial elections in October, we will be encouraging Grade 10 students from high schools across the GTA to discuss the issues affecting young people and the importance of being civically engaged to make social change!

This event is a full day conference (10am to 3pm) where students will watch inspirational speakers, a 90 minute showcase created by talented youth in the community and participate in two, one-hour workshops facilitated by youth.

NXE is a non-profit, un-partisan organization, run by youth, to encourage youth to be civically engaged by finding creative ways to make voting, politics and civic engagement ‘cool’.

As part of our exciting new “Project Peace” initiative funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Multiculturalism Program, we are proud to announce the first annual Arts.For.Equity workshop series, taking place from August 31 – September 4, 2009.

Presented in partnership with Manifesto Community Projects, Unity Charity, and the Art Gallery of Ontario, the 5-day workshop series will present youth from across the GTA with a unique opportunity to participate in diversity training, while simultaneously developing new skills in a variety of art forms – from dance and photography to visual and performance art.

The youth will then use their newly acquired artistic skills to express their understanding of diversity and equity in their communities at an exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario in the fall! The project is open to youth ages 13-18.
