Diaspora of Hope (DOH) is a global one-week Arts for Hope camp in
multiple locations. Artists from around the world disperse and gather in
different partner locations to teach about hope, through art-making, to the
most vulnerable children in the toughest places of our world .
International artists join local artists to participate in collaborative
training in a common curriculum. They then jointly lead arts camps with children ages 8-14 in each location. The camps provide children the
opportunity to experience hope through art-making.DOH is a catalytic event that encourages local community
arts and builds capacity and sustainability. Training of local artists is always including prior to the camp.
