Objectives

This project was a constructive attempt to exchange content and solutions in the practice of innovative therapy, education and social action and focused on the social development of people, dynamics of interpersonal relationships, inter-subjective understanding, based on therapeutic and artistic practices . The aim of this project was to investigate and sub-questions, to learn and to teach how each of the partners involved can develop the art therapeutic measures as tools in relation to the personal growth and well-being of the marginalized individuals. Each participating partner organization has been able to develop further with its own modalities, communicative practices, expressive and relational, with the result of solving problems for individuals and in relation to group dynamics and alleviating symptoms of stress for the individuals in our target group. The establishment of a consolidated European network that enables us to develop inclusion projects and the creation of a network of organizations that focus on the realization of artistic projects and creative events with immigrants and refugees were also the aim of our project. The development of a network of organizations that enable us to carry out mobilities in European countries that are directly in intercultural contexts was another central task of our project.

Background

The main objective of the project was to compare the way in which the two organizations, involved in the project, develop art as a tool for personal growth of people from marginalized groups and the construction of a local network for the promotion of inclusion in intercultural contexts. Each organization had its projects, initiatives, methodology, tools, and ways of accompanying people that serve to alleviate the frustration and stress of the individual, a very generalized feeling among working adults. Specifically, we proposed to strengthen the impact of this project through the use of performance to promote the well-being of people in any community through creative and artistic techniques. The construction of a consolidated European network that allows us to develop inclusion projects; Creation of a network of organizations focused on the creation of artistic projects and creative events with immigrants and refugees; Creation of a network of organizations that allow us to carry out mobilities to European countries that work directly in intercultural contexts;
