You can still join the ART THERAPY Group and take part in the First Workshop “SPRING OF CHANGE”
The aim of this project is to help build migrants’ resilience during VUCA Times. VOLATILITY, UNCERTAINTY, COMPLEXITY, AMBIGUITY; these are the qualities we will focus on, defining and recognizing them in ourselves and trying to disarm them by finding the best way to constructively experience these difficult and ubiquitous emotional states.
For who?
Migrants, Refugees, Repatriates, Expats or anyone who seeks more comfort in life, wants to find a way to deal with a new environment, would like to meet others who seek support.
You don’t need any experience or talent for painting etc. There will be various techniques of artistic creation to choose from.
If you would like to stop for a moment and express your emotions through movement, sounds or transfer them onto a piece of paper, or if you are looking for inspiration on how to strengthen your psychological and psychosociological resilience then this group is for YOU!
When, where and why?
The workshop will take place on the 13th of June from 6:00 p.m. till 8:30 p.m. via the Zoom platform.
With the help of art (e.g. painting, music, movement), we will strengthen and stimulate our creativity. The workshop will be a time for LETTING IT GO and FILLING UP with POSITIVE ENERGY OF ARTISTIC CREATION shared with others.

Workshops will be led by art therapists: Aleksandra Passendorfer and Urszula Rymarowicz.
