A series of five educational workshops and activities. 18+

The workshop series will be designed to support youth in connecting their personal narratives to broader social and political issues, fostering both self-awareness and collective consciousness. Through storytelling, creative expression, and dialogue, participants will be encouraged to see how their lived experiences relate to histories of migration, identity, community, and resistance.

All of the workshops will be facilitated by Filipino/a/x leaders, artists, and scholars with deep expertise and lived experience in the subject areas. These facilitators will also serve as mentors, offering guidance, affirmation, and inspiration as youth explore questions of belonging, heritage, and social responsibility.

Over the course of five sessions, participants will engage with themes such as cultural identity, intergenerational memory, social justice, and community organizing. Workshops may include activities such as art-making, storytelling, critical reflection, and collaborative projects that encourage youth to envision the kinds of futures they wish to build for themselves and their communities.

The ultimate goal of the series is to help youth strengthen their voices, deepen their sense of cultural pride, and recognize their capacity to contribute to broader movements for equity and change.
