Through these 2 events, we will try to connect the original stories around us, we will select the most inspiring stories to make an online video or a digital book/traditional paper book to share with more people, to appreciate the important role that arts and culture play in strengthening communities, the well-being of individuals, and the vitality of our social fabric.
This event is free to public, cross-cultural learning and understanding groups and individuals, elders and youth, families and kids, military and veterans, immigrants and refugees, Indigenous, people with disabilities, poets and writers, artists and entrepreneurs, or those who are passionate about sharing and connecting with each other are all welcome.
Throughout the year, Culture Days will be presenting learning opportunities for the network and talking about a wide range of timely topics, including: partnerships, inclusive engagement, youth empowerment, sustainable futures and more. And these events will be a good opportunity to:
1. Connect people with a wide range of interests, backgrounds and experiences;
