Description:
TakingITGlobal’s Language as Violence, Violence as Language project will equip 60 underserved Greater Toronto Area youth with analytical, leadership and technology skills as they develop effective alternative “languages to violence”.
Background:
TakingITGlobal implemented an earlier Language as Violence, Violence as Language project, in cooperation with UNESCO, the Salesforce.com Foundation and local partners, in eight countries worldwide. All the information, artistic submissions, documents, video and comments are available on the project's webpage.
Objectives:
This project will enable young people to discuss the various forms of violence they encounter and express in their daily social environments and to actively explore, develop and become fluent in effective, alternative languages to violence. Key themes explored throughout the workshop series include:
• Violence as a Language in the Daily Lives of Youth
• Violence and the Media: What are they Selling? Are you Buying?
•Violence, Communication and Conflict Resolution
•Alternative Languages to Violence
The primary objective is to shed light on the multiple dimensions of causes, contents, nature, and consequences of violence and create greater understanding between people of different genders, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. To achieve this, the project will build capacity among under-served youth and facilitate knowledge-sharing around common challenges.
