Activity Purpose/ Summary:
We had an opportunity to interact with other facilitators from the two organizations (Jijenge Youth Organization and Soulevement ) and discuss the role of art in therapy. We talked about how art provides an outlet for emotions that might be difficult to express through words, such as trauma, grief, and complex feelings. Engaging in creative activities can be relaxing and help reduce stress and anxiety.

Achievements:
A new perspective and a new platform for engagement with other community-led organizations.

Unanticipated Achievements:
Art is a new way of expression, and the dance was really relaxing for both the body and the mind.
