Creative workshops

As a part of the Community-based Support in Integration project, implemented by IAN thanks to the support of UNHCR Serbia, creative workshops are held at IAN in order to relax, develop creativity and spread positive energy. Art as therapy has a healing effect on participants, encourages them, helps them to face and understand their own emotions, as well as to learn to control and channel them through artistic expression or creative process.

After the creative workshops, it was shown that the users feel better and freer, and that this type of activity has a positive effect on their thought process and harmony.

The activity also contributes to better integration of refugees / asylum seekers, as the participants of the workshops are members of the local community, as well.
