projects
Beyond Empathy uses an Arts Based Intervention Program (AIP) that:
- Influences - influences the way young people see themselves and relate to the world.
- Changes - changes how young people see their future, develop relationships and build confidence.
- Connects - connects young people with support services so they can participate in society and realize vocational and life goals.
- Engages - provides new ways for support workers to connect with young people who are outside the standard support agency network and can't be reached by more mainstream means.
- Develops - provides a forum for young people to develop vocational skills.
Beyond Empathy is a philosophy and a model that has been created, tested and delivers results. And while it runs a number of programs itself, the Beyond Empathy Model can and is being replicated by other community-based organisations throughout the country. Beyond Empathy provides training to community workers and emerging artists to make this replication possible. Young people who have been involved in our projects assist with this process.
