A guide to welcoming and listening

Making inclusive arts with people from around the world!

This guide is for people who use or want to use arts-based activities, techniques and practices to co-create arts interventions to bring together people from different backgrounds, dismantle hierarchies and to challenge and rebalance unequal power dynamics. It is for practitioners, researchers, funders and advocates.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

  • promote and support creative empowerment within arts initiatives

  • Introduce the arts practices Stand & Be Counted uses to build wellbeing and transform lives

  • share activities, behaviours and values that have the potential to support sharing power with people from a migrant background, not as participants or ‘service users’, but as leaders and experts with skills, knowledge, experience and creativity.

  • offer practical tools for embedding safe, transformative collaboration in your work.

- Alina Aleva

“We are inspired and we want you to be inspired!”
