Increasing awareness
Using creative arts, music, dance and drama to mitigate stigma and discrimination
How this works
Music can break down barriers and serve as a universal language. we use it to convey messages of solidarity and support, and to people living with pyschosocial disabilities.
Dance allows them to express themselves without words. It can be used to celebrate diversity and to bring people together from different backgrounds.
We use drama as a form of storytelling that highlights personal experiences with stigma and discrimination. It helps audiences empathize with characters who are different from themselves.
Painting, sculpture, and other visual arts can depict the impact of stigma and provide a platform for marginalized voices.
