Weaving Words 2025:
Story Forward: Journeying with You(th)
The 15th Annual WWC will be held March 5-8, 2025, with the theme of Story Forward: Journeying with You(th). This theme highlights our aim of celebrating stories for and by youth. With the first title “Story Forward,” we highlight the possibilities for a different future youth can envision through storytelling. Stories--written, oral, and in other mediums such as dance and song--can be one of the ways through which Indigenous people can imagine futures beyond colonialism and capitalism, futures that honour Indigenous knowledges.
The WWC is grateful to reside on the traditional territory of the Lheidli T’enneh, a place we are honoured to call home. The natural landscape of the Lheidli T’enneh territory, the beautiful locationfor Prince George and UNBC’s main campus, is abundantly rich in history and story. We aim to reflect that through the celebration of traditional and contemporary Indigenous storytelling, which facilitates the sharing of culture, knowledge, and entertainment during our multi-day Festival.
