Project title
Clownetterna
Description of initiative
Region Västmanland has in recent years run several projects and activities in culture and health where the main target group is children and young people. At the pediatric clinic there are hospital clowns who, among other things, work with development projects based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The name of the project is Night Clowns and the work of the clowns has been highlighted by doctors at the Västmanland Hospital in Västerås. The Night Clows project aims to strengthen children and young people in their identity so that they become safe and visible in their hospital environment.
