Building fairer communities through arts based methods research

Building fairer communities through arts-based methods involves using creative practices to foster social inclusion, enhance community engagement, and promote equity. Surrey’s impact driven arts-based initiatives, such as community workshops, performances, and public art projects, provide platforms for diverse voices and perspectives, allowing individuals from marginalized backgrounds to express themselves and share their stories. 

These methods encourage collaboration among community members, fostering a sense of belonging and shared identity, and can address social issues by raising awareness and sparking dialogue on topics such as inequality, discrimination, and community needs.
