Embracing Our Culture with Youth!
NunatuKavut Community Youth Engagement Project visited Central Labrador in mid-November for a weekend of workshops at Pete Barrett’s with support from the Labrador Friendship Centre’s SHIELD Project.
Day one focused on printmaking and day two was spent teaching the youth how to make clay kudliks and gnomes. It was such a great weekend – learning new skills and embracing our culture with youth!
