Some smiles say so much more than words ever could. 🤗

For over 30 years, the Theodora Foundation has been bringing moments of joy, imagination and play to children in hospital and children with disabilities through the colourful visits of our Giggle Doctors. 🧡

Precious moments when worries and difficult times can fade into the background, even if just for a little while. That’s what we mean by Much more than laughter.

On World Smile Day, we celebrate all the smiles our Giggle Doctors bring to children’s faces – and all the smiles the children, their families and healthcare staff give us in return. 🤩

And you, who has the best smile in your circle? 😁

Summer holidays are here… but illness never takes a break.
Now more than ever, the Giggle Doctors bring moments of joy, lightness and magic to children in hospital. 🧡

Today, Fridolin brought a touch of the tropics into a hospital room, filling it with holiday vibes and smiles. 🌴✨

Thanks to your support, Giggle Doctors can continue bringing magic, joy and precious moments of escape to children in hospital. Thank you! 🙏

What if art, play, and emotions could have a real impact on wellbeing and healthcare? ✨

On June 25, the Theodora Foundation will take part in the interdisciplinary *Flourishing Minds* conference in Geneva, organized by Healing Arts Switzerland and the Women’s Brain Foundation.

This unique gathering will bring together scientists, clinicians, artists, and field professionals to foster dialogue between neuroscience, medicine, artistic practices, and human experience.

On this occasion, Solange Denervaud (CIBM – EPFL) will present her research on the impact of the Theodora Foundation’s Giggle Doctors’ artistic interventions in hospitals on resilience, emotional connection, and healing processes.

Tamara Attali, Communication Officer at the Theodora Foundation, will also participate in a panel discussion on the role of artistic interventions in healthcare.

A wonderful opportunity to connect neuroscience, medicine, art, and lived experience around more human-centered and integrative approaches to care.

📍 Geneva — June 25, 2026
