The United Nations Association of Canada proudly presents the
Multimedia & Multiculturalism (M&M) project. This
initiative is a diversity and education project that reflects
a commitment to social cohesion and youth engagement in Canada.
With generous funding from Citizenship and Immigration Canada
(CIC), the project brings together community members, media networks,
local organizations, national partners and existing UNA-Canada
regional branches
across Canada (Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Saguenay, St. John's,
Quebec, Belleville, Hamilton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton,
Kootenay, Vancouver and Victoria).
Through M&M activities, UNA-Canada mobilizes youth internships
with media organizations, regional and national roundtables, a
knowledge transfer forum and design educational tools on media
engagement. Through these activities the project enhances the
role media plays in the contribution and inclusive representation
of under-represented groups living in Canada. M&M addresses
the realities and challenges faced by ethno-cultural racial minority
communities in all levels of the general media.
This dynamic initiative is implemented in Halifax (NS), Montreal
(QC), Ottawa (ON), Toronto (ON), Regina (SK), Calgary (AB) and
Vancouver (BC). We will soon be launching our website which will
feature blogs, discussion forums, media resources and will keep
you undated on activities in your region. Stay tuned and get involved!
