A couple of weeks ago Ewa and Karen were invited by the Christie Ossington Community Centre’s, outreach worker and mentor artist, Javid Alibhai to give a presentation to youths attending their Biz Academy program. Biz Academy is a hands on training program in entrepreneurial skills development for high-school youths wanting to learn how to set up and run a community business.
The theme of the presentation was about how Freedom Clothing Collective uses Social Media as a tool for engagement, feedback, networking and marketing.
“This year’s BizAcademy was a huge success, thanx again to all the youth that graduated from the program, and to Salesforce.com Foundation and Pramilla Ramdahani for their amazing contributions to the program.” (via. The LOFT website) -The LOFT stands for Life Opportunities Food and Technology.
Initiated in 2001, the LOFT, which was developed in consultation with and in response to the expressed interests of local youth, aims to address youth issues and concerns in the Christie Ossington community through meaningful youth engagement and community development.
