CMCCF AND 4BETTER2MORROW JOIN FORCES FOR YOUNG ADULTS MENTAL WELL BEING PROGRAM

The Coalition of Manitoba Cultural Communities for Families and 4better2morrow, a non-profit European global initiative supporting today’s youth, have joined forces to offer two on-line sessions to best co-create impact for a better tomorrow. We have a shared vision to make the world a better, more inclusive and sustainable place for all. What connects us is that we believe in the future generation are the true change-makers who will create a better world by empowering youth now.

Each of our teams from different countries will bring together different skills, knowledge and access to diverse youth in our respective countries, who will be interested and be willing to explore together their mental health and well-being in a time of the COVID pandemic. We are fully committed to ensuring the diversity and inclusion of youth from different backgrounds and lived experiences.

One World March 2021 Project

Who can participate?

We are co-facilitating two FREE online workshops for youth from both Canada and Europe, from diverse communities, and in particular young adults (age 18-23) who identify themselves coming from an immigrant or refugee experience.

Although in English we welcome also those not fully proficient in it.

And, do not hesitate to bring a friend (have them register also) What can you expect?

We offer a deep exploration of your “lived and felt experiences”, living as immigrants or refugees in covid times. Sharing with each other stories that build new relationships, new connections with youth all with different life-experiences.

Together, identify and share challenges you experience with having limited access to community services due to covid restrictions. Together, we will formulate the start of an advocacy approach you can contribute to, participate in.

What will your experience?

Meet, connect, and collaborate with diverse young adults. Hang-out and have fun.

Purpose

The Purpose of These Peace-First: CollaborationNet Pages These pages exist to share what we have learned. Over the past year, Peace-First: CollaborationNet has operated as a time-limited demonstration initiative, which is a space to test ideas, host conversations, and discover what might grow when peace is placed at the center. Conversations took root in informal Peace-First Hubs across Winnipeg, Thompson, Brandon, and Portage la Prairie, with related gatherings in Vancouver and Toronto. Toronto now helps convene national roundtable conversations, linking local dialogue with a broader Canadian exchange. What began as small, local discussions has become more connected — not through expansion or centralization, but through coherence. Across regions, shared themes, tensions, and hopes are emerging. This webpage documents that journey. It gathers reflections, materials, and learning from Hub conversations so others can understand what has been explored and carry it forward. From the beginning, Peace-First was designed as a seed-planting initiative, formally concluding March 31, 2026. Its focus has been to explore how individuals and cultural communities understand inner peace, collective vision, community cohesion, and cultural dignity and visibility. The Hubs are volunteer-led spaces where community connectors and members gather to listen, reflect, and imagine what a peaceful geographic and cultural community might look like in practice. Along the way, we developed background papers, reflection documents, and practical toolkits shaped by lived experience in Manitoba and beyond. This page now serves as a living repository within the Peace-First Library, offering capacity-building tools, framing papers, hub guidance, and shared learning that communities can adapt to their own realities. The purpose is not to centralize authority, but to make learning accessible. Peace-First Hubs are community-led and partner-supported — grounded in relationship, not hierarchy. Supported by ACOMI, ECCM, Palaver Hut, MIA, cultural community members across the country, and allies such as MANSO, Mediation Services, CanU Canada, and PCHS, this work moves through partnership rather than control. This initiative has been made possible through the principal financial support of the Department of Canadian Heritage, with a supportive role played by The Winnipeg Foundation. Their investment has allowed these conversations, materials, and connections to take shape. These materials are not instructions to replicate. They are tools to adapt. This page is more than documentation. It is an invitation. Peace-First is not about imposing a uniform model. It is about strengthening conditions for dialogue, cohesion, and shared responsibility before a crisis. If this resonates, we invite you to explore further, join a national roundtable call, or consider what it would mean to host or support a conversation in your own community. Join a national roundtable call. Complete the survey. The seeds have been planted. What grows next depends on all of us.
