The pulse of Thrive Toronto beats through its incredible artists — storytellers, performers, and visual creators who bring Indo-Caribbean stories to life through their words, movement, and art.
Youth Storytelling Project
Thrive x ICCA
In collaboration with the Indo-Caribbean Canadian Association (ICCA), Thrive Toronto will host a Youth Storytelling Project featuring Indo-Caribbean youth (ages 13–22). Participants will take part in a 4-week virtual workshop in October 2025, guided by artists and mentors, culminating in a live showcase at the festival.
