Art Beyond Belief

We are a charity that develops and produces creative programmes which are a fusion of cutting-edge technology and digital art to encourage communication – between individuals, within families and among communities. Over the past six years we have created successful programmes in the areas of mental health, domestic violence, learning disability, offending and prison, inter-faith dialogue, inter-community cohesion and Asperger’s Syndrome (this is our Rucksack programme - see panel to the right). We are working on some new programmes for 2012-13 which will be announced in the autumn. Insight is one of our latest programmes - a completely new style of interfaith awareness training we have created and are developing with funding from the Sir Halley Stewart Trust. We can guarantee Insight is unlike any other cultural awareness programme you have experienced … your preconceptions will be challenged - even those you don’t know you have!

We are currently working with children and young people with Asperger’s Syndrome and their siblings to explore family life and relationships in our Rucksack programme - helping to provide a vocabulary for self expression and understanding through innovative use of computer-based art and graphics.

Insight is a completely new style of interfaith training programme developed by Art Beyond Belief with funding from the Sir Halley Stewart Trust. The aim of Insight is to challenge preconceptions - of other faiths and cultures, of other people - and also of yourself - your faith and your culture. Insight is delivered in an engaging and challenging way, using innovative computer-based techniques to provoke thought, stimulate discussion in small groups. and encourage self-exploration. The programme is based on techniques developed during Art Monitor, a programme we created and delivered to a large number of groups over the past two years with life-changing results. It also calls on our experiences during Faith Junction - a programme during which ordinary people of faith interviewed each other on matters important to them and their faith. No previous computer knowledge is required in order to take part. For more details or to book, contact David Sparrow telephone 07412 974454 or email david@art-beyond-belief.com [More...]
