How can we describe things that are too awful to put into words? Most people find it difficult to speak about their own fears, losses or injuries. But nothing helps more than sharing these experiences. In Jordan, a team of experts are working with people who have experienced suicidal thoughts, using art therapy. In a safe space, men, women and children can translate what they have been through into words and music. Others use a paintbrush to express their emotions.
The art workshops are one of many elements that GIZ is using to advance psychosocial support for refugees and internally displaced persons in the Middle East. The project Psychosocial Support for Syrian Refugees and Internally Displaced People is part of BMZ
