Reform the Norm

About

This project aims to activate a better future by turning experiences from the pandemic into narratives with the power to change the city of Coventry.

Reform The Norm is an influential collective of Coventry’s City of Culture Trust (COC) and involves four organisations at the forefront of these work. These organisations represent people with disabilities, those who have experienced homelessness, young people at risk of exploitation and refugees or asylum seekers in the city. The project will build the capacity of the participants to shape their experiences into stories that will influence workforce and institutional behaviours, practices and policies. The project will build a movement of allies who carry these stories into their communities, disrupting public spaces with art designed for social change and action.
