Objective
The objective of the program is to provide young participants with a fun and enriching positive experience, focusing on the pleasure of creating. Then, promote the free and spontaneous expression of the person, accompany him through his process of expression and creation in a safe environment, a space of welcome and empathetic listening. Attention is placed on the personal creative process and not on the result, respecting the pace and limits of each, without performance pressure.
