In the global society in which we live, the arts open pathways to understanding and communication between peoples. In addition, the arts are channels for creativity and celebration, mitigate the effects of stress and trauma, and are known to facilitate innovative spaces for emotional release. The arts can provide people a tangible result for their efforts in a relative short time, actions that can take place through individual or collective effort. The conference will feature arts based approaches initiated by Lesley University faculty and other international experts. Circumnavigate the globe using the arts as our compass for exploration.
