In VOCALISM workshops, participants are encouraged to use their voice in a safe, creative space. We give you tools to advocate most effectively for yourself and others with a technical and creative approach to group participation. In particular, we use music as a way to include everyone.
Our Songwriting as Advocacy workshop allows you the space to say something important in a new way. Here's a recent example: "Empty Chair" by Front Line Defenders.

TESTIMONIALS
"I liked the fun and the interaction of working together to create a song about the work that we are all so committed to."
- Mary, Front Line Defenders, international human rights organisation
"Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic." "It was fun, interesting and thought provoking." |
"I liked the fact that there was a tangible outcome [to the workshop], to which everyone contributed... Song-writing has always been something obscure to me and the workshop somehow demystified it. I feel I understand the process more now."
- Andrea, Front Line Defenders, international human rights organisation
