Mixed Up
"There are many unclear and mixed ideologies that are having an increased threat on our safety and cohesion which our work directly addresses."Find out more information about this workshop programme
Mixed Up explores the Mixed Unclear and Unstable ideologies. All our performances are developed by working with people with lived experience & specialisms in the issues we address as well as through research into latest learning and trends, and focus groups. The workshop includes a hard hitting play that ends with many complex societal problems relating to MUU ideologies. Workshop participants use the play to try out solutions and early intervention techniques.
Odd Arts is an alumni of the US Embassy Exchange on Countering Violent Extremism, and continues to deliver Embassy commissioned work. We were commissioned to present live at EU Parliament’s International conference on preventing extremism and have been contributors for RAN presentations (Radicalisation Awareness Network) as well as many more local and national networks. We have vast experience in wider issues relating more broadly to risk of radicalisation, including: Additional Needs; Domestic/partner abuse; Sexual assault & consent; Knife crime; Exploitation & Mental Health.
All our radicalisation prevention offers have two or three delivery models to ensure they are safe, accessible and appropriate for people within more complex settings such as PRUs, SEN schools, criminal justice or mental health settings, or for people with lived experience of trauma or increased vulnerability.
