Right for We is a practical and research initiative that focuses on social inclusion and exclusion in the arts, culture, education, and public spaces. It is run as a collaboration between teachers, researchers, and students. The goal is to target a diversity-sensitive interpretation of “We” identities and to raise awareness among local population groups of a new interpretation of a comprehensive societal “We”. The project uses interdisciplinary approaches to expand the understanding of cultural participation as an anti-discriminatory practice and develops innovative methods of questioning and shaping hierarchies and power relations. Based on interventions in the public space and in the classroom a digital workbook is being developed that will impart both theoretical knowledge and practical inspiration and is aimed at both practising professionals and interested members of the public.
The project can be viewed as a social innovation as it promotes social change, encourages collaboration, and seeks solutions to social challenges.
