Calling all young people of colour and Indigenous people, ages 16 – 30!

to participate in a summer anti-racism training through radio, art and
other workshops in order to gain skills to help you fight for your
rights, your people and what you believe in.

We’re looking for people who…
- want to fight racism, and all forms of discrimination and oppression
- want to get involved (or more involved) in social and political
issues in their communities
- want to hang out / share experiences / learn with and from other
young people of colour and Indigenous people.

Snap! Moving to Our Own Beats is…

Snap! is a summer program for young people of colour and Indigenous
people, ages 16 to 30, to learn skills, share ideas and gain
experiences that will help us change the world we live in ending
racism and all forms of discrimination and oppression that affect us.

We are moving to our own beats because this is a program for youth, by
youth. We believe that we know best what affects us, and how we can -
and do – affect change.

We are currently looking for young people of colour and Indigenous
people in Montreal to attend our summer program, which takes place
over three weekends in August, with a graduation party at the end of
September. Snap! is designed for people of all levels of experience -
from those who want to get involved but don’t know where to start, to
long-time activists who want to strengthen the movement.

Snap! is a combination of analytical, practical and creative skills
training. Some of the issues we will be covering include…
- the prison system
- capitalism and the military
- gender and sexuality, and
- building community alternatives.

Some of the hands on practical skills we’ll be learning are
- EVENT ORGANIZING
- SPEAKING OUT
- POPULAR THEATRE
- SILKSCREENING and STENCIL MAKING
- DESKTOP PUBLISHING and WEBSITE DESIGN. To see the full schedule,
check out the website (snap.mahost.org)

This year, the Snap! program includes two creative group projects – a
radio production project in collaboration with CKUT Radio McGill, and
a visual arts project in collaboration with the Ste. Emilie
Skillshare. Participants will work together on these projects, and the
final products will be launched at the Snap! Graduation/Vernissage at
the end of September.

The program is FREE, with scholarships/bursaries/stipends (i.e. $$$)
available to participants on a needs basis (see the application form).

If you are interested in being a participant of Snap! please fill in a
snapplication form. Spaces are limited!
NEW!!! –> DEADLINE TO APPLY: August 8th, 6pm
