Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This project aims to generate awareness around the value of diversity, and how this value is perceived different in different contexts, generating at the same time a cognitive dissonance. This exhibit has been presented in several lectures as a successful community art project from an occupational therapy perspective. We hope the exhibit will be experienced by at least 1500 adults and 200 children in person and a similar number online. A guest book will be used to collect and evaluate the exhibition. In its online version a "comments" channel will be open to receive opinions.
