We are an international community-based collective of arts educators, art therapists, artist teachers, and educators committed to facilitating arts and education initiatives with children and youth in conflict-affected environments. Through respect, open dialogue, and long-term cooperation, we work with local partners to create, produce and share these experiences with a broader global audience.
We believe the fostering of capabilities associated with the arts – from engaging in creative expression and reflection to big picture thinking – can provide people with the freedoms, abilities, and agency to respond to and take action in their daily lives.

More than 426 million children and youth currently live in recognized conflict-affected areas. One in five grow up in a war zone. The humanitarian group, Save the Children estimate that conflict now impacts children at the highest rate in a generation. ArtsAction Group is committed to working with these communities, side by side, through the arts and education.

In the wake of the covid-19 pandemic our lives continue to be altered in ways that none of us could have imagined. It has been too long since ArtsAction Group has been able to be in community, in-person, with our partners. We look forward to joining our global, extended families in 2023 starting with our 10th year anniversary in Kosovo, March of 2023.
