We exist at the intersection of education and community in order to advance the value of inquiry and reimagine a better world.

Our Driving Forces

Education We empower individuals to take control over their own learning and develop a deeper understanding of their role within a community through active participation and engagement.

The Creative Arts We use a dynamic practice that combines the creative power of the arts with the strategic planning of activism.

The Healing Arts We create environments that heal both the individual and the community to help us reimagine and produce individual and collective well-being.

Leadership Development We shape a process where each member takes individual or collective action to generate solutions. We contribute by sharing knowledge, experience and resources with learners to assist with their own engagement and professional development.

Immigration We create bridges between immigrants and community resources within safe spaces of support, dignity and humanity.
