Voici les objectifs de développement durable associés à mon projet

    Les objectifs de développement durable de l’ONU

    Il est possible de catégoriser les projets à impact communautaire selon les objectifs de développement durable de l’ONU. These are the Sustainable Development Goals associated with my project.

      Le fonctionnement du projet

      The project being funded aims to produce a large event for the Latin community in Montreal that is safe and inclusive while presenting a high quality lineup of artists and performers including live music as well as DJs, dancers and performance artists. Food vendors on site and a bar menu will be curated specifically for our audience.

      Résumé de l'impact

      The event will provide an authentic experience where our audience will be transported to home and encouraged to celebrate their culture and roots as a collective experience. The impact that we aim to achieve is to create a safe space for networking and community building where our audience can blossom while representing their Latin American identity. A secondary impact will also be to further establish PLZRS and to broaden our scope and reach to be able to maximize our impact for our next high season; Summer 2027.

      Résumé de la mission

      Our mission is to connect our audience with contemporary arts and culture in Latin America while promoting unity and solidarity here in North America for Latin diaspora.
