Objective
The aim of the programme is to give the young participants a positive, fun and enriching experience, focusing on the pleasure of creating. Secondly, to encourage them to express themselves freely and spontaneously, and to accompany them through the process of expression and creation in a safe, welcoming and empathetic environment. The focus is on the personal creative process, not the result, while respecting each person’s rhythm and limits, and without pressure to perform.
Art therapy has a number of benefits for well-being and mental health:
- Self-affirmation and self-esteem
- Emotional regulation
- Reduced anxiety
- Sense of empowerment
- Development of social ties
