aids2031 - what we can do to change the face of the pandemic by 2031

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

To learn more about aids2031, follow this link: www.aids2031.org/about

aids2031 is a consortium of partners who have come together to look at what we have learned about the AIDS response as well as consider the implications of the changing world around AIDS.

Based on innovative thinking, critical analysis and public debate, aids2031 will create the report An Agenda for the Future–charting options to achieve the best possible outcome for the future.

aids2031 is about mobilizing the global AIDS response to include a long-term view and take into account the consequences of our actions as well as inactions.

aids2031 is not about what we should do in 2031, but what we can do differently now, to change the face of the pandemic by 2031

Celebrate the healing power of the arts

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

On April 24, the Massachusetts Psychiatric Rehab Association (MassPra) will be hosting a “Day of Creativity” at VinFen in Sommerville. The event is free and open to the public. 

 

The point of this day is for consumers, mental health professionals, and their allies (and these titles often overlap!) to come together and celebrate the healing power of the arts. All the information is below.

 

I will be co-facilitating a movement workshop (also noted below) during the day. I am not sure about the time, but I can promise you that if you are interested, I will let you know more. I can also promise you that my movement workshops have been deemed both “really fun” and “not boring” by the patients, children, and fellow grad students who have experienced them thus far.

 

I hope some of you can come, and if you can’t, that you will spread the word!!

 

Peace out,

Alexia
