IMPACT is a global organisation advocating for arts and culture to transform conflict and build more creative, just and inclusive societies. It supports artists, cultural workers, peacebuilders and researchers who confront complex social challenges, offering spaces for exchange, learning and collective action across borders and disciplines.
At ICAF, IMPACT launches their Home of Hope, a community and space for collective sharing, learning and solidarity. This session invites ICAF participants to connect, explore opportunities, exchange practice and support each other. Through inspirational speakers and group discussions, participants will gain new insights, build meaningful connections, and receive an open invitation to join IMPACT’s global ‘Home of Hope’ community, a network committed to creative and collaborative approaches to positive change.
