About the Training

Art as Forum is an online, interactive workshop designed to support artists and facilitators to confidently hold space for difficult and sensitive conversations around current social issues affecting our communities.

The session explores topics such as race, immigration, and polarising socio-political issues, offering practical tools, evidence-based approaches, and theoretical frameworks drawn from Odd Arts' extensive practice.

Participants will engage in discussion, creative exercises and tailored scenarios to build confidence, awareness and skill when facilitating challenging conversations safely and ethically.
