We held an art therapy workshop in Barcelona with the young people who attend our Spanish classes, led by Rachel, a professional art therapist.
Using the word “passion” as a prompt, we explored what connects each participant to their history, emotions, and identity. Through art and words, profound references emerged to cultural roots, music, soccer, family ties, and the idea of home 🏠
The result was a collective experience of expression and listening, in which each person was able to represent their “passion” as a symbolic place of belonging and memory.
These kinds of spaces remind us of the importance of integrating the emotional, cultural, and creative aspects of education and support. A simple yet deeply meaningful encounter. 🎨
Thank you to Rachel and our CREATE teacher Esthefania for hosting the workshop.
Our CREATE classes offer Spanish language education to non-accompanied minors. Together with our partners – Glossomatheia Language Learning & Research Center, Faros, Croix-Rouge française, G.F.C. Generation for Change CY , OXFAM Italia , Dedalus Cooperativa sociale - we support over 600 young people across Europe in learning the language of their new country and fostering inclusion through education.
These trips are made possible through the CREATE project, co-funded by the European Union through the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund.
