About the project:
The ‘Creative Lab’ is a 3-day arts enrichment and personal-development program for students who are in their final year of high school, taking place at York University in the Fall of 2018. The camp will support students to explore the question “what is my True Inner Purpose?” through the process of art-creation and engagement with topics related to Social Justice, Well-Being and Identity.

The purpose of the camp is to support youth (age 17-18) to find a better grounding in their next steps forward as they make big decisions for their lives and for their futures after high school. We will be bringing youth together from various socio-economic and cultural backgrounds, to also use this space to bridge community and cultural divides through the arts.

Alongside the youth camp, we will be running an apprentice training program for aspiring New Generation Arts Educators. These will be York University students enrolled in Master’s programs or are in the senior years of their Bachelors studies – in the fields of Education, Social Work, or Fine Arts. They will serve as camp leaders and mentors to the youth throughout the duration of the camp.

This project is being funded by the Ontario Arts Council.
