SKETCH is heating up!

Sketch Orléans is here to answer the question « So what do we do now ? » Easy as that, for youth and by youth. Here’s our plan:

Organize events and activities in Orléans like TOAST, GART, etc.
Develop youth social enterprises / youth co-ops (upcoming)
Get a place to “chill” in Orléans… like with pool tables, couches, music, food, etc.

Step 3 will probably only happen in a few years. We need you to make sure that it happens for real! Questions, comments, ideas… don’t be shy and write us!

TOAST'08 drew over 500 people.
