Do you think media plays a role in creating a more inclusive Vancouver? How does ethnicity shape the stories that we tell about ourselves and our city? Join youth, educators and media makers as we reimagine ethnic representation in media and learn how the next generation is changing how we consume --and even create -- these stories.

MIM will explore issues around ethnic representation in media & storytelling and the importance of media literacy when we create and consume those stories from the perspective of media professionals, educators, advocates and youth.

This event is presented in partnership between the United Nations Association in Canada, Schema Magazine, CoopCulture and co-sponsored by the Vancouver Public Library.

Format:

· Short presentations and facilitated panel discussion (Speakers TBA)
· Q&A session & facilitated community discussion
· Networking session following event
