Casa-Pueblito is a non-profit, international organization that facilitates community development and intercultural learning with a focus on youth in Canada and Latin America. One of our programs, Voices for Change: Developing Leadership in Inclusive Education, is a Toronto-based program working to increase Latino student success and retention rates by providing a space for Latino secondary students to champion for diversity and inclusivity in our schools and communities through the Youth Change-Maker program.
This year, Youth Change-Makers (coming from both the TDSB and TCDSB) created digital stories to bring awareness to issues contributing to the shocking 40% dropout rate among Latino students in Toronto. As an elected official for a Ward that includes a high concentration of Latino students in your schools, hope you’ll join us for a special screening at Beit Zatoun on June 30th.
The event will begin at 7:00pm, followed by the screening at 7:30pm and Q&A with the Youth Change-Makers. There will be a subsequent reception with complementary beverages and snacks.
When: Thursday, June 30th at 7:00pm
Where: Beit Zatoun – 612 Markham St., M6G 2L8, Toronto
Hi, I read in Juana Maria Rodriguez’s “Latino, Latina, Latin@” (2014) that as the number of Brazilians migrating to Canada and the U.S. has been increasing, they are beginning to be considered part of the Latino community — even though they are not part of the Spanish-speaking population, they are immigrants from Latin America within the U.S. and Canada. I would appreciate it if you can tell me whether Proyecto Latin@ includes Brazilians as well. Since I am doing research on this, any information you can possibly give me will be very helpful.mThanks!
