Creative Exchange
Region: UK, Europe

Mission Statement: Creative Exchange's activities help people connect and share ideas and skills, learn about the use of culture and arts in social settings, and change and influence policy and practice. Creative Exchange projects are gathering knowledge about new ways of fighting poverty, conflict, ill-health and injustice.

We focus on Culture as identity and values, and Arts as a way of expressing our identity and our ideas, and exploring opportunities for change. If culture is an important landscape for human development then the arts is the soundtrack - we need to understand how they are collectively contributing to our future and to resolving some of the challenges we face.

DramAide
Region: South Africa, Africa
Issues: Children & Youth, Education, Media, Public Health
Mission Statement: The DramAidE project uses drama methodologies to critically engage young people to communicate effectively about issues relating to sex, sexuality and HIV/AIDS. DramAidE aims to equip young people with increased knowledge about HIV/AIDS and the skills to inform and communicate with others about sexual health. The goal is to create a network of peer educators that practice safer sex and other positive behaviours, and initiate a social movement that promotes healthy lifestyles.

These peer educators are organised into clubs. These clubs provide a platform for them to undertake health promoting communication campaigns through generating ‘action media' and undertaking health promoting projects more broadly in their communities. ‘Action media' are plays, posters, songs and dances that have been created by young people through a participatory process.

Article 19
Region: UK, Europe
Issues: Human Rights, Media
Mission Statement: ARTICLE 19 is an international human rights organisation which defends and promotes freedom of expression and freedom of information all over the world. ARTICLE 19 believes that freedom of expression and access to information is not a luxury but a fundamental human right. The full enjoyment of this right is the most potent force to pre-empt repression, conflict and war; it is central to achieving individual freedoms and developing democracy. We monitor, research, publish, lobby, campaign, set standards, and litigate on behalf of freedom of expression wherever it is threatened.

Amnesty International Film Festival
Region: U.S.A., North America
Issues: Human Rights, Media
Mission Statement: Few artistic media have the power to reach across cultures, languages, and even time itself to influence millions of people in the language of our daily lives. Film has such power. Each year dozens of talented filmmakers work against long odds, short finances, and threatening politics to bring to the screen powerful stories of human struggle, sacrifice, and triumph.

Some documentary filmmakers have risked their very lives so that we may be moved by far-off stories that, once told, seem very much closer to home. The Amnesty International Film Festival is dedicated to bringing these stories to our communities so that our colleagues, neighbors, and friends can see for themselves the full-range of challenges facing people in every part of the world.
