With the high-visibility activist movements of Occupy and Idle No More, many citizens are understandably unsure how to learn for themselves about the meaning of contested issues, and most especially, how to participate. The Unify Toronto Dialogues series provides a safe space to learn and be heard in the inquiry of an engaged citizenship. Before we can authentically take any action in the public sphere, we are obligated to discover our own personal connections to issues and the heart-based motivation that joins values to engagement.
Join us for the 2014 series as we kick off the year with a dialogue on creating harmonious alliancing and true friendship among indigenous communities and immigrants and settlers.
