The programs are designed for the general public with the philosophy and principles of lifelong learning, aiming to provide trainees with a strong comparative advantage in the labor market. Art therapy is an internationally recognized model and takes place in the context of mental health, education, supporting agencies for vulnerable groups, etc. It is a method to combat depression, anxiety disorders without or with parallel medication / monitoring.
