Messengers of Truth Programme - Brochure

As a response to the marginalization of urban young people, Un-habItat launched the messengers of truth Programme in 2004 in barcelona. The Programme aims to highlight how the arts can help address urban youth empowerment and employment; urban peace building and social cohesion; improving urban health; and advocacy for inclusive and decent publication infrastructure. The goal of the Messengers of Truth Programme is to encourage artists’ communication of positive messages for urban youth self-empowerment. As well, it aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of artists in helping to meet the challenges of urban unemployment, safety, social cohesion, health, and inclusive and decent urban infrastructure.
