Conversations Living Library: Newcomers' Stories of Belonging
Advertisement
Join us for a unique Sunday afternoon of personal, one-on-one conversations with these newcomers to Canada. Giving a human face to the process of immigration, their powerful stories cover strength, identity, and starting over, but also include surviving hard times like trauma, war, and being forced to leave their homes.
Sharing knowledge and experiences, these storytellers will talk about how circumstances forced them to live apart from their families, or how they found refuge and support in their new communities. Some were imprisoned, kidnapped, or taken advantage of. Others worked hard to ensure their familiesβ survival. All of the stories are compelling and reflect courage, love, hardship, separation, determination, joy, and ultimately, a deep longing for a better future here in Canada.
The Living Library is a safe space to engage in intimate and insightful 20-minute conversations with the visitors β to ask and learn β as long as the questions come from a respectful curiosity.
