Fostering Multiculturalism via Arts and Crafts
Grant Stream of the City of Calgary, this project aims at fostering and promoting multiculturalism in Calgary by engaging kids and youth in multicultural arts sessions. The CRESS Centre in collaboration with the Trellis Society and the Nepalese Community Society of Calgary runs craft sessions by engaging experts and participants from diverse ethnic backgrounds to educate and promote multiculturalism and anti-racism through innovative arts and crafts activities.
While kids and youth got engaged in training sessions, their parents got an opportunity to interact with parents from diverse cultures. This opens an avenue for new friendships while getting to know each other’s culture, thereby increasing the knowledge horizons, and developing respect for each other’s cultures.
