Art Borups Corners

Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario

The project is grounded in a dynamic process of collaborative engagement and capacity building, utilizing arts-based research methodologies to ensure the work is both relevant and empowering. A key focus is Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR), which positions young people as leaders in investigating their own economic realities and co-designing their futures. Through a series of co-design workshops, digital storytelling projects, and community forums, ECO-STAR North facilitates intergenerational knowledge transfer, connecting youth with Elders and established creators. This hands-on, community-led approach ensures the resulting toolkit is not an academic exercise, but a living, practical resource built by and for Northern innovators, strengthening a resilient and interconnected creative ecosystem.

ECO-STAR North Community Listening Survey

Art Borups Corners October 30, 2025
This story explores the universal value of 'Being innovative and resourceful'. In the Inuktitut language, this concept is known as 'Qanuqtuurniq'. This value means finding clever, practical ways to solve problems, especially when facing difficulties or when standard tools and methods are not available. It involves looking at what you have, thinking creatively, and adapting to new situations to achieve a goal. It is about using your mind and available materials to make things work.
