Governments bear a very
important responsibility to ensure security in and around events such as the G20
Summit. They have an equal responsibility to enable and protect the rights
associated with peaceful protest, particularly freedoms of expression, assembly
and association.

A workshop exploring theatre for community engagement will be held June 10 in Regina. If you would like to explore issues of power and the "isms" (racism, linguicism,
sexism...) through the lens of the theatre of the oppressed, rejuvenate your
active spirit, and develop/strengthen community alliances, then this is the
workshop for you. This workshop was created for community organizers,
facilitators, activists, and educators as well as individuals who are seeking to
become engaged and active within the community. You do not need to have previous
experience with community development or organizing in order to participate. The
workshop will be led by Dr. Warren Linds, a former Regina resident who now teaches at Montreal's Concordia University. Write Comment (1 Comments)
