THE ‘HEALTHY ART’ PROJECT IS INTO WORK: THE OPERATIONAL PHASE OF IMPLEMENTING THE TOOLS HAS BEGUN

Our Healthy Inclusion through Art project is now in full swing: the implementation phase of the tools created by youth workers who successfully completed the training in recent months will continue until the end of November. The implementation objective is twofold: for youth workers, it will be a time to improve their skills and put the newly acquired knowledge into practice.

Meanwhile, for young people with psychosocial difficulties, it will be an opportunity to improve their social and relational skills through art, experiencing greater security, autonomy, and well-being. The task of the operators involved in the implementation phase will be to track the effects of the activities on the children and to report any changes and adjustments to the tools, which will then be reviewed during the international expert seminar.In total, for each country involved in the project, six new tools will be implemented with fifteen children, for a total of thirty-six tools.
The revised tools will then be compiled into a ToolKit, a sort of “manual,” available in seven languages ​​for all youth professionals interested in using art with young people at risk of social exclusion.

At the end of this implementation phase, sixteen youth workers and thirty young people will participate in the final art exhibition, which will be held in Lisbon in March 2026.
