An art therapy workshop is planned to offer an interactive experience that combines art and psychological well-being. In addition, two specific meetings were organized for primary and secondary school teachers, focused on innovative strategies for promoting reading among students.
For younger people and their families, the program includes a creative writing workshop, which encourages the active participation of children and parents, while on May 25th special readings will be held for children, curated by the volunteers of the “Born to Read” program .
