We are excited to host our 7th annual conference - a weekend of activism, networking, and interactive discussions. The #CracksintheConcrete Conference embraces intersectionality, creativity, curiosity, and collaboration. Our focus is social justice, equity, and diversity as it impacts marginalized youth and communities.
Since its inception in 2016, our conference has featured many distinguished speakers and performers including Lee Maracle, Janet Mock, A Tribe Called Red, Khari Wendell McClelland, Kat Blaque, and Thirza Cuthand.
This year’s conference is themed “Adapting: Life in Full Bloom”. We focus on the change that has begun since the pandemic, but with a positive outlook highlighting the amazing work being done in our community. We also want to showcase the varied experiences of youth as they continue to adapt to today’s ever-changing society.
Our conference will be held over 2 days. The first day will consist of 3 speakers who will present a series of inspiring talks focused on their lived experience, specifically: disability awareness, mental wellness and public service. The second day will consist of 4 panels each focusing on the amazing work community members are doing in the areas of conflict resolution, creating financial security using art, preserving identity and culture, and the impact of COVID-19 on university students in British Columbia.
We look forward to seeing you on Zoom or Facebook Live (www.facebook.com/creansociety).
