The Symposium agenda is jam-packed with presentations, discussions, trainings, networking opportunities, and working groups. You can find the full agenda here, and as VAHMS is acting as the Vancouver Satellite organization, there are a few presentations and working groups that we are producing.
VAHMS will be hosting one working group zoom session On September 12th at 10:00AM PST. We will be discussing three topics as well as any other subjects that the participants wish to bring up.
- Pro-active steps to combat Anti-Asian racism and support Black Lives Matter: breaking systemic norms that support discrimination
2. Increasing visibility and opportunities for artists through residencies, provincial exchanges, tour development and national collaboration
3. Connecting across the sectors: creating a plan for Asian Canadian arts, culture and heritage to be more visible in education, health, technology and other sectors
