This program is part of the larger Emerging ARTivist Program (a workshop and leadership program for children and youth) that uses art to explore issues of urban design and public space.

In the spring of 2012 it was facilitated by Branch Out Theatre's Artistic Director, Naomi Tessler and youth facilitators who live and go to school in the Thorncliffe Community, and will be brought to St. James Town in September 2012.
