Homeless2Home: A Community Exchange
Description:
H2h is a participatory community exchange utilizing the immense practical knowledge of people who have experienced homelessness. The "experts" at this exchange are individuals of all ages who know first hand what it is like to live without a home. The format and content of the exchange have been developed by a team of formerly homeless youth, younger and older adults. Exchange participants will include: people who have experienced homelessness, people who work with and for them, people who design the programs and policies, and people who do the research. The team will challenge participants to generate fresh ideas and commit to solutions to break the cycle of homelessness.
The exchange will also include installations by local artists and arts-informed projects addressing homelessness. Participants will be invited to close the day by attending the reception and premiere of Home Safe Calgary: a documentary chronicling family homelessness.
