Weaving Lives Together in Nigeria

Disclaimer: For in-person events we operate a policy of overbooking, given drop-out rates. Please ensure you arrive in good time to avoid disappointment on the day.

This is a hybrid event. Please for in-person attendance, or .

The project is a collaboration between the psychosocial support and peacebuilding organisation Neem Foundation, Lagos-based fashion design house Ituen Basi and King’s College London (African Leadership Centre; Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries; Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience; Department of War Studies; and King’s Culture).

This session will host an interdisciplinary discussion, bringing together perspectives from mental health, peacebuilding, and creative work, on the innovative development and implementation of the intervention.

The discussion will explore:

• Can socio-economic livelihoods, through creative work, be successfully integrated into mental health and peacebuilding interventions?
• How can innovation centre African and locally led interventions across health, peace, and creativity?
• What possibilities might such integrated interventions offer for the present and the future?

The session will also feature a small display of creative outputs produced as part of the project.

Refreshments will be served.

This project is supported by the One King’s Impact Fund.
