Talent Explosion: The Chinese Canadian Culture Online Project (CCCOP)
The Chinese Canadian National Council (CCNC) presents the CHINESE CANADIAN CULTURE ONLINE PROJECT (CCCOP), an online initiative which showcases the emerging talents of Chinese Canadians across Canada. The aim of the the CCCOP project is to “connect, listen, and share stories that instill pride and cultural understanding about our cultural heritage.”
CCCOP’s objectives are: to showcase Chinese Canadian perspectives and experiences from across the country; enrich and educate everyone about Chinese Canadian culture and history; be youth focused and youth driven; build relationships between communities and groups across Canada and abroad; and celebrate diversity of the Chinese Canadian community.
The CCCOP PROJECT includes an anthology of stories written by or about Chinese Canadian youth; a short video collection; a selection of writings on events and periods in Chinese Canadian history; a discussion forum; and much more. Talents showcased include: the music of RICE JUNKIE COLLECTIVE; a documentary titled CHASING CHINESE; dancers, illustrators, musicians, artists, writers and more.
