Bridging Generations: The Migration Story of Filipino Youth in Manitoba

The Philippine Historical Society of Canada, Inc. (PHSCI) invites you to Balik-Tanaw, Bridging Generations: The Migration Story of Filipino Youth in Manitoba, which will take place in the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) at 85 Israel Asper Way, Winnipeg, Manitoba on Sunday, November 3, 2024 from 10:00AM to 5:00PM.

Balik-Tanaw, Bridging Generations: The Migration Story of Filipino Youth in Manitoba will be a program of sit-in workshops and lectures focusing on how the Filipino diaspora migrated to this place in the world and what that migration meant for the people of the Philippines and Filipinos in Canada.

These workshops will involve a discussion to share what we know and what we’ve learnt. The program will end with a collaborative art project to commemorate our community coming together for our pagbabalik-tanaw (Tagalog for “looking back”/”reminiscing”).

Join us in this thought-provoking event that will stir critical thinking and understanding on Philippine history, migration, and unique experiences of Filipino youth in the Philippines and Manitoba.

We hope that this initiative will spark conversations in our communities, allowing younger generations to learn about the past and collaborate in protecting our history, democracy, and our future.

More details will be sent out in the future so please ensure you’re kept up-to-date by filling out the registration form below.
