Voices Under One Sun is enabling youth to be part of a community that values their authentic self through expression, action, and the ability to become leaders of their own lives. Through a forum that enables our voices to be heard, we are creating a culture of belonging and inclusiveness and celebrating each individual’s unique expression of themselves. While we are not changing the factors that often create stress and anxiety, we are creating a supportive environment where someone can go to relieve that pressure and feel empowered.
We are committed to creating a welcoming environment for all people who want to contribute their voices for the betterment of others.
We celebrate the dignity and respect of each individual for who they are and what they want to be.
We support each individual to share their voice and their passion to be able to act in a courageous and collaborative way.
Isolation and depression are among the most significant threats to mental health, especially for youth. From the pandemic to wars to cyberbullying, the challenges around us feel overwhelming at times.
During the pandemic, despite the isolation, the beauty of the rising sun each day gave me hope. Inspired by this I established
to provide youth with a platform to express their creativity and passion.
No matter what your circumstances are or where you are in the world together, we can empower our voices and support each other through art, action and community.
Voices Under One Sun works with youth around the world to support mental health by enabling passionate people to express themselves through the arts or by getting involved in projects that turns passion into action and battles isolation and depression through inclusiveness.
We will promote youth mental health by enabling expression that foster authenticity, creativity and empowerment. Mental health makes a difference, it enables us to cope with stress, build relationships, and contribute to our communities. By providing a forum that enables our voices and creates inclusiveness, we will develop opportunities that strengthen youth mental well-being.
Our Expression Arena amplifies your voice by celebrating your art and writing.
