Hey everyone! There will be a hangout occurring this Friday at the Genesis Centre for Community Wellness. It is for youth from the ages of 15 – 24 and is intended for youth to meet varying people and experience different perspectives.
It all started out in 2008 when a Mr. Mark Hopkins started hosting “We Should Know Each Other” parties for people to get together and meet the people that live in the same city as them. You could be listening to a harrowing tale about a homeless man or an inspiring story about an established businessman. It is claimed that people will “stretch the limits of their social circles and enhance their thinking with a diversity of new ideas and perspectives”.
Now, WSKEO has teamed up with Antyx Community Arts (empowering youth to get them involved in communities) and 1000 voices, a local initiative by the Genesis Centre and they have created a We Should Know Each Other party for youth
It is happening from 6-9 PM on Friday, at Room D105Â and in the same building the Saddletown YMCA is located, in case parents need something to do.
It sounds incredibly exciting and I plan to be there.
