EPFC North is excited to be working with Daniela Rodríguez and Dora Prieto to present an exciting new youth program!

Calling all self-identifying Latinx/Latine youth (ages 15-18), and those that don’t identify as Latinx but have a connection and heritage to the lands known as Latinoamérica, and who reside within the greater Vancouver area, on the unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.

El Mash Up is for you!!!

The Project: In the late Spring of 2021 (May/June), we will be giving a hybrid creative writing + media arts workshop for self-identifying Latinx youth. In order to make this the most interesting for the participants (as in, you!) we want to get some of your feedback first. The flow of ideas is a two-way street.
