Somali Fest Street Fair,

About the event

Mission

Connect Minority groups in the City of Seattle, promoting unity and social cohesion.

         Objective(s)

• Launch and successfully carry out ‘unity week’, this will be a cultural week where minority groups will interact and develop bonds through cultural appreciation activities.
• Create youth festival activities to promote cohesion and social integration

Seattle has one of the highest immigrant populations in the U.S making it a complex society where cultural misunderstandings can occur more often compared to other areas. In response to this our program aims to create awareness and build on cultural diversity by creating an opportunity where cultural minorities can convene learn and empower themselves as well as become more socially integrated.

The program is especially aimed towards the youth in these groups who are more susceptible to the pressures that come with fitting in. The Program aims to help the youth cope with identity issues and belonging through media arts, sports and community discussion panel. Mentorship opportunities will also be available helping grow leadership opportunities, education management and communication.
