The "Other” is one of ASA’s programs. The main goal of the program is to promote the values
of diversity and tolerance in surroundings based on cultural and social diversity.

The "Other”intends to provide a space for dialogue between young people of different social
and cultural backgrounds where ideas relevant to diversity, difference, non-discrimination
and tolerance are shared and exchanged. It gives the youth the opportunity to participate
in the cultural and democratic development of their society, and engages them in the sharing
of ideas and experiences while involving them in a joint effort to produce art work based on understanding and acceptance of the other.

The Program uses an integrated educational approach of awareness-raising and learning which combines creation and action.

Creation through the use of art (film making, animation, web design…) as a means for the promotion of values of non-discrimination;

Action through dissemination of the art product for awareness and lobbying (marketing
of website, itinerant exhibition, film screenings) as well as through networking and field research
(identification and compilation of stories and cases related to discrimination).

Besides, the program encourages the youth to develop their critical thinking, makes them aware
or their responsibility towards their surroundings, stimulates their creativity, empowers them with
the means and the tools to make a difference, and highlights the often forgotten role of art as
a means of expression among the general public.
