What do we want.
Our vision is to see people of all ages and social parameters participating in various art projects, within and for communities. Participants express themselves while believing that the uniqueness of an individual lays in the diversity of the whole. They gradually build a consensus through a bottom-up process, and agree that a rich culture is one nourished by all social strata.
How we do it
With mutual appreciation, the participants at Yante encounter each other eye to eye. Yante strives to connect cultural initiatives by providing best know-how and fostering inclusive policies. Yante's inclusiveness means any individual with interest can become an active member.

At YANTE we envision xenomania in societies. We believe in embracing and inclusive societies. Therefore our I CAN MOVE programme uses art, especially dance to address specific social development obstacles such as xenophobia, inequality, exclusion, fragmentation, and trauma: e.g. Post Traumatic-Stress-Disorder. The programme seeks to break stereotypes and enable social strata from communicating across the fault line of their differences. Through this process we seek social empowerment by means of providing the participants with the tools for self-expression, raising their self-esteem and body awareness.
To promote Xenomania we will conduct a comprehensive programme that will entail 1) workshops to sensibilise art pedagogues and therapists to the particularities of the Levantine Arab culture followed by mentorship phase; and 2) direct short-term and long-term art therapy interventions with Refugee children that will be presented to the local audiences to bridge between society members.
We have been contributing for a while.
Because we have been members since 2010.
