Changing the Lens: a UBC Forum Theatre project‘Changing the Lens: a UBC Forum Theatre project’, a UBC student initiative, is aimed at reaching out to the entire UBC community, and proposes to develop a theatre piece addressing the issue of cultural identity and cultural sensitivity through a workshop process. Ideally, the piece will speak to questions such as why it seems insufficient for Canadians to just be Canadians, and why people tend to ask ‘where are you/your family really from?’, or challenge assumptions that are made about the ethnicity of international students. The beauty of this work is that the piece will reflect the voice of the UBC community, since it will be entirely developed by members from the UBC community. After the initial workshop phase, the piece will be rehearsed and then performed for the wider UBC community, so as to raise greater awareness of this issue.
We are currently looking for UBC students, faculty, staff and UBC residents who would like to be participants in this theatre work shopping process. The workshop will take place on 6 Sundays during January – February 2013, and students would be paid an honorarium for their time and effort. No acting experience is required, just a willingness and openness to play and learn!

Peace It Together and CitizenU are pleased to invite you to an evening thinking, talking, and creating in new ways.We will begin with folks rotating through short film open spaces. The short films (2-5 minutes) are drawn from the film libraries of Reel Youth, Out in Schools, Access to Media, and Peace It Together. We will use interactive exercises we’ll use to unpack them will explore the impacts of discrimination on people’s lives, dreams, and futures. Then we will rejoin the large group in another activity to engage with one another to consider the intersections of these forms of discrimination and what we can do to create more equitable, diverse, peaceful, just, and vibrant cultures and communities.
We know you have lots of your own ideas, experiences, thoughts, feelings, and dreams of your own to share and we can’t wait to hear them.
Whether you are into films, dialogue, or creative activities (or all of them!), there is a space for you at this event.
You will reflect on the issues, express your perspectives and experience, and discover more about others’ perspectives.
We’ll also think about what we can do, who-ever we are (and are becoming) to create more equitable, peaceful and just communities.
Event is free! Delicious dinner provided! Bus tickets are available at event! Bring your friends! And a notebook to take notes for a meaningful reflection submission towards your Certificate of Leadership!
