First Voices: Connecting Aboriginal Youth in
the North and the South - Music

Planning for the next phase of First Voices is now underway!  This time around, aboriginal youth from the four Atlantic Provinces will join with indigenous youth from Botswana using music as the medium for spotlighting their stories.  If you are between the ages of 18-25 with musical abilities and would like to apply, please download this application form and submit it with a sample of your music! Please feel free to contact us for more information at projects@acic-caci.org.

First Voices: Multimedia Art

Phase 2 of First Voices was a collaborative multi-media art project aimed at presenting stories from First Nation communities in the North and the South.  Five youth from Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Honduras and Guatemala were able to express positive stories from their respective communities through the various media of art, music, photography and traditional ceremony.  Collectively, they came together to produce a collaborative art piece and participate in a tour to showcase their work.  If you are interested in hosting the exhibit contact us at projects@acic-caci.org.

First Voices: Video Documentary

The original First Voices project brought together First Nation youth from Atlantic Canada and indigenous youth from Guatemala and Chile to make a collaborative documentary based on stories of hope as found in their communities. Check out the video on-line at the First Voices web site.
