We are extremely excited to invite you to Freedom-a-nation: Different
People, One Heart, One Beat! This Community Performance and Dialogue is the
culmination of first phase of SUYP's 2010 Making Bridges Out of Walls
Program. This phase has consisted of a 4-month arts-empowerment,
anti-oppression, community organizing training for youth 14 and older in
Surrey. We have been honoured to work with an incredible group of extremely
diverse youth through this first phase. They are so excited to share their
vision, creativity, voices, and determination with you! This is an event
that you will not want to miss.
