We are so delighted to share:
Earlier this year, hubs in Canada received funding from Canadian Roots Exchange - indigenous youth organization under the track: “Shared Struggle and Solidarity” for the project: “Healing Intergenerational Trauma: A Pan-Canadian Initiative by Global Shapers!”; convening Indigenous, Black, and Palestinian Shapers.
As the saying goes: "Pain pushes until the vision pulls". The project is based on the premise that no-one is free until we are all free and on the understanding that intergenerational trauma continues to bleed from the past, until healing takes place and within that healing is a wealth of wisdom that these communities can offer us all. Ultimately, we are all one, and a healthy Canada in the future, one that we envision, stands for the freedom of everyone.
The project consists of three phases:
(1) Unpacking intergenerational trauma.
(2) Healing intergenerational trauma, via two tracks.
Track one: healing sessions. Track two: Reconstruction panels.
(3) Passing the candle
Finally, the project aims to include other communities as it grows: Afghan, Irish, South Asian (Kashmir, Sri Lankan, Indian), etc.
The project continues with our third event, on December 15th, honoring the journey and stories of Black communities in Canada, led by Dr. Clyde Ledbetter Jr., an Ottawa-based scholar of African-American Studies.
Join us and invite your friends. The event is meant for the public at large including Shapers.
