À propos

Let's stop hate with paint - Join us for a 60 minute virtual paint activity to reflect on the power of language.

Ever heard the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"... we don't believe this is true .. we know words have a lot of power and can change the way we feel. The PowerofONE team will be hosting a community conversation and paint activity to discussing the power of language, reflecting on our own experiences and reclaiming words.

Materials you will need:

-Paint- black is required and the rest of the colors are your choice - water colour or acrylic paint ( anything you have)

-Paint brushes

-Canvas of your choice ( you want to have a comfortable space with a little bit of water and some napkins when you start this activity)

Broadening Horizons

Art has the power to create change.

Who Are We?

Broadening Horizons is a not-for-profit organization that believes in the power of education, art and critical self-empowerment to create change in the world.

We educate youth to become peer leaders in their communities by harnessing their creative talents towards a social purpose. Our innovative programs educate youth on a wide variety of social issues, ranging from discrimination, poverty, and hunger, to homelessness and youth substance use.

Broadening Horizons aims to provide services that focus on micro, macro, and mezzo issues impacting youth to help them influence change within themselves, their local community and on a global scale. We believe that these three levels are interconnected and work needs to happen in all areas in order to truly create social change.

We provide both an online and physical learning environment that will provide invaluable resources to social artists, young people, aspiring mentors and the community at large. Through our online hub, ThaOutlet, youth can connect, learn and share with others their passion for change.

Our Mission

Inspire youth to become Agents of Change through the use of creative expression.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create a network of youth who are mobilized and engaged in social justice issues through the arts
