3) Art in Advocacy, is it working? (Ahmad Hesham, Egypt)

# data[].attributes.body
It usually comes to our mind when we advocate for a certain issue in our community, or when we call for a change, to use art to address the problem, let’s make a movie, sing a song, write a novel, but does it really work? Are we using the same language the community uses?

In this open space, we will explore how visual art, music, storytelling, and performance can be powerful tools for advocacy, especially in contexts where traditional methods face limitations. And discuss its impact, and our real need for it

No artistic experience needed, just curiosity and a passion for change.

4) Nurturing Wellbeing in the Fellowship/work as Individuals (Sara Alshaer, Jordan)

# data[].attributes.body
In this discussion, I would share insights on the importance of taking care of our overall wellbeing throughout the fellowship/work journey whether in our personal lives or professional experiences. Often, we focus so much on productivity and achieving goals that we forget the value of rest, balance, reflection and self-connection. I want all fellows to explore how disconnecting whether through mindful practices, taking breaks in nature, or practicing any form self-care actually allows us to reconnect with our authentic selves. When we take the time to recharge, we not only protect our mental and emotional health but also show up with more creativity, energy, and resilience. This mindset shift helps us stay motivated, perform at our best, and make a meaningful impact while staying true to who we are.

Learning isn’t the same for everyone, and many learners with disabilities still face too many barriers. But every challenge hides a chance to innovate.

In this circle, we’ll get real about inclusion; the wins, the struggles, and the “wait, why do we still do it that way?” moments. Together, we’ll share stories, spark ideas, and explore simple ways to make every classroom and community program a place where everyone belongs.

And here’s the fun part: bring (or create) an inclusive game for learners with different disabilities. I’ll share a few cool ones too!
