October 6th & 7th 2015

IEATA Conference in Hong Kong.

Pre-conference workshops offered by Harambee Arts Nepal at the 11th annual IEATA Conference in Hong Kong.

Expressive Arts and Human Trafficking in Nepal

Seven Nepali trafficking survivors and their technical support team spent four years being trained by Harambee Arts in expressive arts techniques. This courageous team of women, who have undergone indignities that no human being should ever experience, told their stories and believed in the process that gave them new life. They have become strong and capable teachers and are sharing the same techniques that allow them to dream of a healthy future. Be prepared to tap into your shadow side as well as your joy through visual arts, storytelling and dance.
