Psychosemitic
is a not-for-profit organisation that facilitates transformative interaction
between Muslim, Jewish and Middle Eastern individuals and communities
in the UK.
We do this through three main spheres of activity:
Cultural Events -
We bring people together to enjoy innovative music, film, poetry, storytelling,
painting and movement influenced by Muslim, Jewish and Middle Eastern
cultural traditions. In doing so, we enhance understanding and appreciation
of our own and others' traditions.
Education - We provide
programmes and facilitators for schools, youth-clubs, community centres,
mosques and synagogues, which utilise creative educational tools to
deal with issues such as ethnic identity, substance misuse, religious
values, texts and rituals, family relations and bullying. These programmes
range from single
workshops to long-term
projects which culminate in the production of a performance/recording/play/film
etc.
Social Action - We
work in partnership with schools, synagogues, mosques and other local
bodies to facilitate collaborative social action between Muslim, Jewish
and Middle Eastern communities. These projects generally focus on helping
the wider community as well as our ‘home’ communities.
