The activities that expand from Walls of Hope focus upon designing, creating, and completing community-based and collaborative art projects. These use the strategies of various arts to rebuild a torn apart region where the legacy of wars and political violence is followed by social, institutional, and economic collapse. 

Walls of Hope welcomes everyone, all members of the community of all ages regardless of their political or religious affiliation. The focus is the creation of :

• collaborative murals 
• public art projects
• urban interventions such as collaborative environmental art projects that include garbage separation and collection, water safety, urban planning towards identifying safe spaces of congregation for children and youth, etc
• weekly classes and workshops of painting, drawing, wood sculpture, furniture making mask making, textile art and printmaking 
• weekly workshops focusing on recycled materials and the respect and preservation of the environment

Community members decide what, where, and how to do their project.  They are given opportunity to share their histories and traumas as they design and develop the project.

International artists are invited to share with the community their skills and artistry producing week -long workshops designed to teach and disseminate techniques, skills, and innovative aesthetic propositions. Community members  are also trained to facilitate art classes. Since 2015 there have been weekly courses addressing the urgent need to recuperation and respect the environment, using exclusively recycled materials. The four artists/ teachers of Walls of Hope facilitate, implement, and teach children, youth, adults, and the elderly bridging art beyond El Salvador.
