Power of the Arts National Forum

From November 6 to 8, 2015, the Michaëlle Jean Foundation and Carleton University's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences held the Power of the Arts National Forum. The gathering was a wonderful opportunity for many of the country's foremost thinkers (from a variety of disciplines) to discuss sustainable social change through the arts in Canada. Stardale Women's Group presented at a workshop entitled "Public Safety and Access to Justice." We presented general information on Stardale programming and then three of the girls did a performance piece ("Committing"). The theme was youth violence and suicide.
