Team members of FCA Nepal stepped away from their desks and routines for a few days for a much-awaited staff retreat held from 28-30 May 2026. The getaway offered an opportunity to unwind, reconnect and strengthen the bonds that quietly hold our team together.

Across the days, we engaged in team-building activities that brought out the best in everyone, alongside moments of reflection that allowed us to pause and reconnect with ourselves and one another. We returned feeling refreshed and re-energized - carrying forward not just memories, but a renewed sense of togetherness into our work.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this retreat such a meaningful and memorable experience!

Funded by the European Union in Nepal and led by FCA Nepal in partnership with Dalit Lives Matter Global Alliance (DLMGA) and Shanta Foundation (SF), the Voices of Change project aims to strengthen Nepal’s Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) by creating opportunities for marginalized youth, women, Dalit, and LGBTIAQ+ community through skills development, entrepreneurship, and cultural expression.

Representatives from provincial and local governments, civil society, media, youth groups, and creative artists came together in the meeting to discuss ways to build a more inclusive and sustainable creative sector in Nepal 🤝

Hon. Ram Ashish Yadav, Speaker of the Madhesh Provincial Assembly, who was also the chief guest of the meeting, described the project as a timely step toward inclusive democracy. He appreciated its strong focus on inclusion and its potential to promote equality, cultural preservation, and income-generation opportunities in Madhesh 🌱
