The arts can be used in a range of contexts to educate communities on essential information such as human rights and gender equality. The arts also have a vital role in traditional education settings for unlocking the creative potential of the next generation.
The arts can be used to distribute vital health education messages such as how HIV/AIDS is spread. It can also be used in art therapy to rehabilitate and provide comfort for traumatised victims such as former child soldiers.
Projects fostering social harmony can take place during or after conflict when the arts can help create a platform for peaceful dialogue and to help heal social divisions.
Art forms such as murals can transform inner-city surrounds. Art and culture programmes can also regenerate communities by forging communal ties and allowing a positive, peaceful atmosphere to spread into crowded living conditions.
Artists are often the first to speak out against oppression both within state systems and against other forms of oppression such as caste systems. Freedom to Create strives to support these forms of peaceful protest.
The creative industries play a vital role in enabling people to work their way out of poverty. Design solutions also utilise the applied arts (such as architecture or industrial design) to help alleviate the root causes of poverty and stunted development, such as access to clean water.
