Snap! is an anti-racism program that combines anti-oppression and skills training in order to support and encourage our own generation of anti-racist youth of colour and Indigenous youth activists. The program is open to people of all levels of experience, from people who want to get involved but don't know where to start, to seasoned activists who are interested in strengthening the movement.
This year's program will include in-depth anti-oppression workshops (i.e. addressing
racism in the lgbtttq community, discussing the prison industrial complex), hands-on skill building workshops (i.e. budgeting, accessibility, public speaking) and a multidisciplinary art component (i.e. video, silkscreening and radio).
Snap! 2007 is for ...
- people who want to fight racism, and all forms of discrimination and oppression
- people who want to get involved (or more involved) in social and political issues in their communities
- people who want to hang out / share experiences / learn with and from other youth of colour and Indigenous youth in Montreal
- people of colour and Indigenous people ages 16-30.
