Tonight I attended a great event at a nearby school in which the arts met social justice through a "Me to We" event.
"Me to We" promotes actions and attitudes which focus on the interconnectedness of people, moving from Me-centred thinking to We-centred thinking. Simple, right? It's connected with Free the Children, a charity started by Craig Kielburger when he was twelve, heard the story if Iqbal Masih, and decided he had to take action against child labour. Free the Children now is a major player in the fight for children's rights around the world, and engages the energies of young people and their adult supporters in making a change in the world.
The school event brought kids together with the arts to raise money and awareness for Me to We goals and charities. It was a pleasure to see kids actively engaged in the arts and many seemed quite passionate about the cause. It was a great event and a very enjoyable evening.
