A community encouraging creative dialogue.

The ATWT Community consists of:
Participants: The participants in our actions contribute to a "think tank" and become part of a community which, through discussions and the exchange of ideas, aims to create a safe and healthy environment for a different approach to the way we communicate in general. Each participant contributes, so if they wish, they are named (credits) in the recording of each activity.
Facilitators: People who want to get a training from ATWT and supervise the activities and/or organise it in their area.
Curators: People who an expertise and they want to co-create
Partners: Depending on the theme, we collaborate with people who have specific knowledge and experience. (Businesses, professionals, organizations, libraries, institutions).
Artists: people who want to showcase their work through our activities and have it serve as material and part of the discussions or even participate in one of them.
Businesses: for small-medium businesses or companies who want to either promote their services or products thought custom-made activites or offer a space for employers to create and talk outside the workplace.

Mission & vision
Mission & vision
And Then We Talked was created to address a need for connection and communication among members of society through discussion. Recognizing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, relationships, combined with an "epidemic" of loneliness as revealed by a series of studies, ATWT aims to help people renegotiate their social lives by offering an opportunity to those in need.
The purpose of ATWT is, through its actions and content, to care for and develop an environment of communication with empathy and with the goal of reducing verbal violence, which is a factor that worsens the quality of life as well as the individual's mental health.
We believe that art can be a tool for social connection and "care" in everyday communication.
It can inform, raise awareness, and act as a catalyst for social transformation, emphasizing its power to connect people around common issues.
Community creation: Shared participation in artistic activities, such as music, theater, or painting, creates bonds and a sense of "belonging" among participants.
Direct benefits of the arts for people:
Enhancement of mental and physical health: The arts have beneficial properties for health, reducing social isolation and improving personality.
Bridge of communication: It functions as a non-verbal means of communication, allowing individuals to interact and understand each other, overcoming language or other barriers.
Promotion of creativity for all: The arts are a critical tool for promoting youth creativity and innovation, connecting young people with their society and culture as well as serving as a bridge to other generations.
