Keynote Event: WhereWeStand
This year, CMS partners with Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration program (CERC Migration) at Toronto Metropolitan University to present WhereWeStand (WWS), a multimedia storytelling project exploring identity and belonging through the voices of Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous newcomers on Turtle Island, now known as Canada. Their collaborative works celebrate creativity, embracing differences while seeking common ground and shared hope. From films to live storytelling, spoken word to dance, music, and more, WWS provides a unique window into expressions of identity and belonging.
The keynote event will be held in a hybrid format.
