Learning

Counterpoints create horizontal learning spaces and programmes that enable fresh conversation, deep listening and new insights to emerge through the work that we support. Our learning processes include:

• Learning partnerships with artists and creative practitioners that build reflection and capacity.
• Convening learning spaces, workshops and retreats that pool insight, resources, support and collaboration across our networks.
• Generating new knowledge and field development through collaboration with learning and research organisations that work across migration, displacement, climate, health and arts / cultural discourses.

Examples of our work here include:

• The Arts, Refugees and Mental Health: Exploring the role of the arts in promoting mental health in a two-year programme of network development, commissions and shared learning.
• Learning Lab: Learning Lab – a space where diverse communities of learners explored the creative arts as a driver for social change.

We disseminate our learning across the public domain, advancing our core commitment to developing migration arts as a field that enables the robust understanding of migration, climate, health and social justice issues to translate into practice and action.
