Voices Of Resilience

Penny Appeal Canada proudly presents Bassem Youssef and Gabor Maté on tour together live and in person. Join us for a unique, unforgettable, timely event as two powerhouse thinkers take the stage together for a unique exploration of the current situation in Gaza. With wit, candor, and compassion, Bassem and Gabor will illuminate the crisis from their distinct, and deeply human perspectives and unique styles. Expect sharp satire, tear jerking stories, soul-searching wisdom, and honest dialogue about trauma, oppression, and hope in the face of unimaginable circumstances.
For those that have been speaking out over the past two years – students, activists, and those concerned about human rights, this is the event for you.
There will be a fundraiser at this event with all money raised going directly to Penny Appeal Canada’s Gaza Emergency Relief, delivering life saving humanitarian aid. Purchase your tickets today!
