The Advocacy

Social awareness is defined as being aware of the problems that different societies and communities face on a day-to-day basis and to be conscious of the difficulties and hardships of society. As we improve social awareness, we also improve our experience of life, create opportunities for better work study life balance, become aware of other peoples emotions, and improve our ability to respond to change. Social issues include poverty, racism, bullying, opportunity inequality, mental health awareness, homelessness, LGBT issues, anti – abortion, education and much, much more. Anything that negatively affects people within a society, that people care about, can become a social issue.

The Rise Up and Unite advocacy concert aims to achieve and to reach out to the youth of today through music and arts. Most of us know the feeling of being moved by a work of art, whether it is a song, a play, a poem, a novel, a painting. When we are touched, we are moved; we are transported to a new place that is, nevertheless, strongly rooted and is a tool for expression. That is why arts and music is so powerful.
