Good Chance
We are Good Chance, the Theatre of Hope, we co-create ground-breaking, heart-thumping theatre and art with artists from refugee and migrant backgrounds. By bringing diverse communities together we spark new conversations about complex urgent issues, including migration and the climate crisis, and make real change possible.
What started in a small tent in the muddy fields of Calais has grown into a global movement of hope and humanity. From our award-winning play The Jungle, to the giant public artwork The Walk with Little Amal, and the world’s largest international kite-flying festival to celebrate Afghan culture, Fly With Me, we have co-created work with over 5,000 refugee artists. Everything we raise goes towards our work with people from refugee backgrounds alongside local communities around the world, helping their voices to be heard and their stories to be told.
Human First Coalition
A non-profit organization dedicated to providing critically needed humanitarian aid in Afghanistan. Founded by Washingtonian of the Year and former Taliban hostage Safi Rauf, Human First focuses on providing food, shelter, education, disaster relief and healthcare for those in need as well facilitating evacuation and resettlement for Afghans just like Salar, Norullah, and Maz in The Jungle. To date, Human First has evacuated over 7,000 vulnerable Afghans and works alongside the US State Department, partner NGOs and a team of staff and volunteers around the world to carry out this vital work .
One Journey
One Journey builds enduring allies for refugees and facilitates human connection between them and their host communities. Throughout the year, One Journey hosts events and makes space that amplify the voices and stories of refugees. Its signature One Journey Festival celebrates the talents, stories and contributions of refugees around the world, bringing people together through the shared languages of art, food, music, dance, storytelling, sports, fashion and technology. This year’s One Journey Festival will be held June 24, 2023 at the Washington National Cathedral.
