Spray Days – Graffiti for Transformative Human Rights Education

Looking globally, we see how the world has shifted in the past few years. Many say that human rights and democracy are at stake - hate speech, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, nationalism, radicalism, and justifying them, are now getting more and more popular and is now presented on a regular basis. We are seeing a lot of our peers suffering from conflicts - from inner conflicts, interpersonal and intercultural conflicts. Young people are now more than ever polarized and marginalized
We believe that we are at the moment in time, where human rights and democracy is being threatened in so many different contexts, that there is a need for transformative action. We also believe that art offers a brilliant medium for human rights education, it has always been a key towards development. It’s our firm belief that art is a universal language, capable of delivering messages about equality to any members of society.
Our aim is to empower young people to become conscious citizens by using creative expression, such as graffiti and street art to educate them and enabling them to educate others. Our vision is to increase youth participation by equip young people with a set of competences to use nonviolent activism for social change and transformation.
