Results, benefits, impact and lessons learnt

During the last twenty years the organisation have served more than five thousand people from different parts of the world, with different types of needs, most of them at risk of social exclusion. During this time they have observed the great impact that sociocultural and artistic activities have on the day-to-day well-being of the people with whom they work. The people who attend their art workshops find a cultural refuge for their suffering. They find there one way to share the best of themselves. Through activities such as visiting museums and galleries, participating in art exhibitions, or going to see theatre plays and movies, the people they assist feel valid and worthy.
