Art Attacks

KidsRights supports Creative Acts in their mission to let every youth voice matter. Discovering that legislation had passed enabling young people incarcerated in county jails and children’s prisons to vote, Creative Acts felt sure that the kids inside were unaware of the value of their voices and wanted to support and encourage them to use their power as those most impacted.

  • Organisation: Creative Acts
  • Project: Art Attacks
  • Country: United States of America
  • Goal: To teach the youth to raise their voice and to use their right to vote.

Within the project Art Attacks, Creative Acts gives workshops to youth in prison. These youth often come from underprivileged backgrounds and grew up with a lot of violence. The goal of the workshop is to teach these youth that their voice matters. With creative art exercises Creative Acts teaches the youth to express themselves and also raise awareness on their right to vote.  After every workshop they (pre)register them to vote.
