✨We believe that creativity plays a central role in fostering social cohesion and personal empowerment🎭🎨🎵✨

OUR VISION
For us the importance of art lies in its role as a social tool for humanity. Its performance is related to the transmission of emotions. Art is a form of communication, in which words are not necessary to convey an idea or thought. On the other hand, culture is the soul of a vibrant society, expressed in many ways in which we tell our stories, celebrate, remember the past, entertain ou

rselves and imagine the future. In this space called society we will encounter migrants, minorities, multiculturalism, other languages, etc. Our vision is that through socio-cultural initiatives citizens can interact, get to know each other, express feelings, and incorporate all groups into the social structure. OUR MISSION
To build a society in which art and culture have an important place in people’s lives, not only as performers, but also as spectators. To create instances of participation and socio-cultural initiatives that work with different sectors of the society. To highlight the importance of multiculturalism and diversity in artistic expressions, and how this positively influences respect and tolerance in a modern society. To support, celebrate and develop creative practice, cultural traditions, and transcultural initiatives.

In March 2026, CITRUS partners gathered in Mons, Belgium 🇧🇪 for a two-day training on inclusive civic education for adults with reading difficulties.

From shared moments in the city to hands-on collaborative work, the mobility combined learning, exchange, and co-creation.

Together, we explored how to make education more accessible, participatory, and meaningful through art-based approaches.

A step forward in building more inclusive learning experiences.

💬🎨 “Voices from the workshops”

A small selection of reflections from participants and facilitators in the Neurodiversity & ArtTherapy project.

✨Across our sessions, we saw how creative practice can support communication, regulation, and connection (especially when words are not the easiest option).

These insights were gathered during our pilot workshops within the Neurodiversity & Expressive Arts (ND&EXA) project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union 🇪🇺.
Project: 2023-2-RO01-KA220-YOU-000180487.

We wrapped up a very special phase of our pilot workshops ✨. Looking at these images reminds us that, beyond artistic techniques, the most important thing was building an environment of trust.

We confirmed that art is a powerful bridge when words are not enough. We moved from initial hesitation to collective confidence, creating a place where every emotion and every silence was welcome. 💓

🙌🏻Thank you to everyone who was part of this experience for allowing yourselves to explore, pause, and connect in your own way.

Facilitated by: ~ IRARU Team
Organized by: IRARU, co-funded by Erasmus+

This workshop is part of the Neurodiversity & ArtTherapy project, supported by the European Union, which aims to train professionals and create more opportunities for inclusion and well-being for neurodivergent youth in Europe. 2023-2-RO01-KA220-YOU-000180487
