Unfortunately, we will soon be remembering the Russian invasion of Ukraine almost two years ago for the second time. For this reason, ARTHELPS knew it had to send a message of hope : “Especially at this time, we don’t want to forget the children and young people in Ukraine. The music video with the RESISTRUMENTS was only the beginning. It is meant to break the silence and show that the courage of the Ukrainian children and young people remains unbroken.”
In the media, things have gotten quieter about the war in Ukraine. Even more reason for ARTHELPS to draw attention to the work it does in the wartorn country. In close cooperation with local partners, ARTHELPS supports numerous children and young people who are all severely traumatized by the ongoing war.
The children and young people not only receive art therapy treatment but also psychological care and support. The number of traumatized people in the Ukraine is continuously increasing.
“The therapists are coached by us specifically in the area of art therapy to expand their repertoire of methods and possible interventions. In addition, we also hold several creative workshops there. For our latest project, ‘RESISTRUMENTS’, we had the idea of making instruments out of Russian weapons of war.” ARTHELPS.
We present you the music video here on GoSee, which was created in a workshop with Ukrainian young people at the new ARTHELPS creative hub:
We also present you a video here with several impressions from the workshop as well as the building within which the new creative hub for art therapy has been established in cooperation with Saving an Angel (Rea Garvey) and Save Ukraine:
