dc.description.abstract	Concordia University of Edmonton and University of Calgary were engaged in an inquiry into fostering a good human identity through the arts. Partnering with the Calgary Stampede Foundation, the intention of this project was to work with youth in the Immediate Young Canadians program to respond to the goal of the project, which was to understand how youth learn and interpret from the curriculum regarding what being a good human means to them. The Youth Development Framework posits that being a good human involves morals and integrity to reach individual potential, invoking the concept of “Western Hospitality” meaning, “being friendly and generous” to people in their communities, build “cultural belonging and acceptance,” respect and care for their environment, and “value citizenship and agency” (Calgary Stampede Foundation, n.d.). These characteristics of being a good human are not necessarily exclusive to the curriculum used for the Young Canadians as there is an expectation that the skills transcend the program into the youths’ communities and beyond. In addition to being a good human, other attributes from the Youth Development Framework include critical thinking, problem-solving, managing information, creativity and innovation, communication, collaboration, personal growth, well-being, and accountability (Calgary Stampede Foundation, n.d.).	en_US
