During the 2023 First Directions Film Program, Yúusnewas hosted workshops to share information about Indigenous Resilience with youth from across BC. Reel Youth supported participants to work together to make short films about their visions for positive change.

This 3-day program is made possible by YouthCO and Yúusnewas, and with support from Telus STORYHIVE. These are the two powerful films that have come out of the program:

In our work we strive to embody what we hope to see in the world—a just humanity and community in which people are free to be themselves fully and without fear. A community where no one is exiled or silenced because of gender, gender expression, race, color, ethnic or national origin, religion, sexual/affectional orientation, age, class, physical character or disability. We believe in the power of storytelling to make connections across difference.
