  3. To establish a safe space for exploring the complexity of the mixed heritage experience.
  4. To develop awareness and consciousness of the issues facing mixed heritage individuals.
  5. To encourage solidarity and empowerment in the mixed heritage community.

VALUES

  • Meaningful learning: We seek to provide an interactive and creative learning experience that fosters individual self-awareness and self-discovery.
  • Safe environment: We are committed to providing a nurturing environment that promotes self-esteem and confidence.
  • Community: We recognize that community is a source of connectedness and inclusive relationships for families and youth.
