Description of initiative
Brundibar: The creative process as a path to wellbeing of childhood trauma is a National funded R&D research project, which aims to investigate intervention methodologies through art that help children and adolescents to overcome adverse experiences, as well as to develop observation, evaluation and research records. It is also committed to developing prevention strategies in social, cultural, clinical and educational spheres in interdisciplinary collaboration with different professional teams.
With a four-year lifespan (2021-2025) Brundibar develops pilot workshops with methodologies based on metaphor and narrative therapies, with the participation of museums and cultural institutions and the collaboration of Save The Children. The following products are planned to be developed:
- Validated intervention methodologies that promote the improvement of well-being in vulnerable children and adolescents.
- Observation register with validated observable indicators to measure the degree of improvement.
- Intervention tool through art, which can be applied as an evaluation and intervention tool.
