To navigate the politics of division, we need to have a new kind of conversation about how society deals with fundamental questions of belonging, inclusion, and social connection. We need to talk about our many identities, our many languages, and our many histories, from new arrivals to people who have been here for thousands of years. We need to talk about arts and culture as a shared and shareable language. Calgary, as a vibrant, creative, and ever-evolving city, has much to share about the complexities and challenges of real inclusion, and the role of culture and the arts in fostering belonging.

6 Degrees is a global conversation about citizenship and inclusion. We involve the brightest minds and the boldest methods, bringing thinkers, doers, artists, politicians, and activists together in a unique forum.

This limited-run podcast series is brought to you in partnership with 6 Degrees, a part of the Institute for Canadian Citizenship.
