( Detailed programme of the Open Day)
The aim of the workshop “We Art One” was through play to encourage youth from different life paths – migrants, refugees, unaccompanied children as well as from the local society, to get to know each other, to exchange ideas and learn from each other, to express their views and expectations creatively, through visual arts and play. The workshop also aimed to help them to reflect on our society and the different life chances given to different people.
The possibility of using leisure time creatively and pleasantly is one of the most attractive and hopeful parameters for feeling free and wholly. From children’s play, which is the recreation area par excellence for children, to the various forms of play through which adults relate to the world, men and women can feel themselves and enjoy their leisure time.
