WE BELIEVE THAT PARTICIPATING IN THE CREATIVE ARTS ENGAGES THE FEELING OF COMING HOME
We help people who are struggling with connection, community and inspiration to feel supported and engaged.
This manifests in many ways including workshops, team building days and social impact projects. Building connection between social sectors within the Netherlands and with other countries.
IT’S REALLY QUITE SIMPLE
We strive to provide a safe space and resources so that everyone can exercise their creative freedom. In doing this, we hope to stimulate self-development and facilitate the therapeutic effect that making art can have.
