The entity www.aile.gov.tr/ankara from Turkey hosted the last of the meetings held within the PAINT THE CHANGE project, which began in 2022 and will conclude in 2024.
Between May 21 and 24, 2024, the Turkish delegation proposed a schedule of activities and training that took place in some of the centers they manage in their country. In the proposed workshops, we learned firsthand about some of the artistic techniques they use and propose therapeutically in their centers. We also got to see firsthand some of the pieces and artworks created in these creative workshops.
The meeting also served to discover and share some of the proposals generated by the Italian delegation www.gruppophoenix.eu and www.redsanamente.org from Spain.
Moreover, a debate was held about the power of «CHANGE» within the social realities in which we live. Here are some of the conclusions that emerged:
- «CHANGE» is alive and in constant motion. It does not have a definitive endpoint.
- The importance of «TOLERANCE» and «RESPECT» in the processes of «CHANGE».
- «LISTENING» goes hand in hand with «CHANGE»…
Social change processes must arise naturally and not be forced. Agreement and consensus are fundamental in these processes. Projects like this are essential to continue nurturing the seed of «CHANGE» in our world.
It is worth highlighting the warm reception and support from the Turkish delegation, who combined our training processes with cultural, tourist, and leisure activities during the days of the meeting. Additionally, at our farewell, we enjoyed a traditional Turkish music concert performed by users of one of the centers managed by www.aile.gov.tr/ankara.
Congratulations. Thank you very much.
