Arts-Based Approaches and Methodology for Social Cohesion and Collective Psychosocial Healing of Affected Communities

This report summarizes research on using art-based approaches to enhance social cohesion and psychosocial well-being in humanitarian contexts. Despite a solid theoretical foundation demonstrating the individual and collective benefits of these modalities, there is a significant gap in large-scale, quantitative evidence, particularly in humanitarian settings. This analysis seeks to bridge this gap by examining the potential of art-based approaches to promote social cohesion, and community health, and change attitudes within affected populations.
