We discuss ideas and projects that use the arts to bring positive change to people who are or have been homeless. We are holding monthly global video meetings to give people in our network, or simply interested in arts and homelessness, a chance to get together remotely. The meetings are relaxed and fun and a place to share news, ideas and creativity. This year we are adding some amazing training sessions and professional development to the schedule. We are also cahnging from two sessions to just the one at 2pm every last wednesday of the month. Come and enjoy the space, learn some new things and maske some new friends.
