The methodology we use calls for creativity and participation in places where children and communities live in fear, mistrust and isolation. Workshop leaders share their skills, make connections, provide relief, and provide much-needed safe space.

Art is a universal and intuitive language, which enables intercultural communication, nurtures positive awareness, curiosity and dialogue among people.
