SPOTLIGHTING THE HIDDEN STORIES OF PEOPLE IN PLACES OF CRISIS.The event was organised by Between Borders International
World Forced Displacement and Mental Health Day is a global acknowledgement of the voices and lived experiences of people displaced by or living in today's unprecedented humanitarian emergencies. In this context, there is an urgent need to recognise the integral role of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). This day is a global initiative aimed at opening dialogue and consolidating human values for the dignity and self-determination of all people in places of crisis.
“Journey of Storytelling” is the inaugural event for Between Borders highlighting the world of culture and the arts and its ability to facilitate thinking on how we understand and respond to humanitarian crises. Our event consists of three presentations by the artists Daniel Cotterrell, Edwin Mingard and Mohsin Mohi-Ud-Din, each of which will be proceeded by a panel discussion.
