Calls to Action
In partnership with InnerView, these Calls to Action form a powerful and ongoing series of creative challenges. Each challenge focuses on a different issue, empowering young people to use the arts for self-expression, empathy, and positive impact. These simple yet meaningful initiatives invite students to reflect deeply on their inner and outer worlds and respond through diverse media like photography, poetry, visual arts, and film.
Voices of Home: A Creative Call to Action for International Mother Language Day
February 21st is International Mother Language Day, a day created to promote, preserve, and protect all mother tongues, especially those at risk of extinction.
To join the spirit of the day, Creative Changemakers asks you to create a piece of art, writing, music, or performance that celebrates your mother language or a language that connects you to your heritage or even your inner being.
This could be, but is not limited to, a poem that weaves together multiple languages you speak, a visual artwork incorporating the script or symbols of your mother tongue, a short story about what language means to your family, or a recording of a song, proverb, or story in your mother language with a reflection on why it matters to you.
