Description

Key messages
• Inclusion and community cohesion are multi-dimensional, operating on individual, community and policy levels.
• Creative methods can support inclusive and accessible environments between diverse communities by:
o reducing language barriers by utilising creative expression as a universal tool, which in turn can reduce isolation, stigma and discrimination.
o supporting diverse communities in navigating trauma, building resilience and confidence in communities.
o celebrating shared heritage and facilitate a space to share creative skills, providing new opportunities for diverse communities to build their capacity.
• Creative approaches can address the multi-layered dynamics of inclusion and community cohesion through facilitating inclusive governance, creating spaces for diverse communities to connect and share skills, whilst serving as a vehicle for intercommunity education.
