Notes
Key populations: racialized refugee and newcomer youth who now reside in Calgary
Key recommendations: Dismantling dogmatic ideas is a key part of anti-racist work, where processes of re-learning and change are needed to truly engage newcomer youth in these discussions.
Community organizations:
-
Calgary Catholic Immigration Society
-
Immigrant Women’s Association
-
Calgary Bridge Foundation for Youth
-
Centre for Newcomers
Future research / gaps identified: Previous knowledge about what anti-racist means comes from institutions and the YARI project is trying to dismantle that by asking newcomer youths themselves of what they imagine to be anti-racist futures are
Integration timeline: not defined
Key findings:
Newcomer youth from around the globe engaged in various artistic mediums (e.g. stop motion animation) to share their personal stories of migration, community and resettlement through an anti-racist lens.
