On 15th April ‘Voices for Change’, Plymouth’s ARROW group, met for a day’s workshop and reflection at the city’s Barbican Theatre. The intention was to brainstorm ideas for leading up to the event in the summer.
The group is a new alliance of the original ARROW group and the Barbican’s Collective Voices project. As the groups had similar ideas and values we decided to join together.

ARROW's aim is to develop a global network of artists, educators, young people, organisations and institutions with a commitment to building bridges across perceived boundaries and barriers, by sharing our stories, challenging prejudice and stereotypes and developing the arts as a resource for reconciliation and the creative transformation of conflict.
We were inspired by the work of Desmond Tutu, especially with his Chairing of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, so we wrote to him asking for his support and blessing.
He replied, describing ARROW as ‘exciting, especially as it is so apt for our time.” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu
News in brief
- An MA inspired by the work at ARROW has been launched at University College Plymouth St Mark and St John.
- The cutting edge Masters programme aims to equip students, who want to make a difference, with a theoretical and practical understanding of how the arts can contribute to the processes of reconciliation, the peaceful transformation of conflict in a range of settings and enhanced understanding of global interdependance.
