Arts and culture strengthen the identity of a community. As well as breathing new life into society, they act as an ‘economic engine’ and can also change mentalities. By discovering their creative potential, young people all over the world channel their energy into the arts and contribute towards the creation of a better world. Young people can count on Gavin Sheppard (Toronto), Reine Lebel (Port-au-Prince) and Gil Favreau (Montreal) to help their development.
