About the Organizer
Little Lantern Cultural and Heritage Society
Little Lantern is a grassroots group that hosts youth-centred, youth-driven and youth-led projects that value Hua-Chinese youth’s voices and creative potentials. We are based on the unceded Coast Salish Territory of Vancouver and we work with high-school youth identified with diverse Hua-Chinese heritages and experiences. Our capacity-building model creates a safe and inclusive multilingual space for youth to explore their cultural belongings and personal identities. We believe in the strength-based approach of empowering youth to build bridges with peers and all community members.
