ART for ALL KIDS
Many children and young adults in Italy lack opportunities for building solid futures. But perhaps more importantly, they lack the means to express themselves, deal with traumas they have faced and develop new narratives for the future based on a healthy perspective on the past and positive connections with others.
Extensive research has shown that the visual arts hold significant potential for healing in those who have experienced trauma by providing a springboard for people to express themselves and tell their stories. This not only includes reflecting on the past, but forming new ideas and solidifying dreams of the future: the arts enable people to tie past experiences (even negative ones) into a larger narrative of their lives, which builds resilience and motivation, promoting positive social outcomes.
ARTandSEEK is developing a project to offer free art workshops to children and young adults that have experienced traumas or live difficult situations, to help them express their creativity and better understand their feelings.
We are looking for partnerships with schools and social institutions who deal with vulnerable children and young adults to be able to realise our project.
If you like the idea and you would like to donate for the Project "ART for ALL KIDS" we will be very grateful! With any donation over 10€ you will get the 2021 annual membership to ARTandSEEK for free or a 15% discount on the next event you join if you are already a member .
