THE UNHCR THAILAND SERIES.

 

In collaboration with UNHCR Thailand / REFUGEES ARE FULL OF HIDDEN TALENTS!

Our first session of art therapy was a success! Only a few tote bags and some acrylic painting, and the magic happened. Women Refugees could express themselves freely and create a personalized bag to take home. « I never learned how to paint in my life », shared one of the participants after the session. « I never got a chance to go to school. This activity made me so happy. I am now learning art, and it feels good! I want my life to be as beautiful as my painting! »

Art Therapy has multiple benefits in alleviating stress and creating social connections among the refugee community. More importantly, it offers a safe space for women to learn and enjoy themselves together!
