Mixed recreational sessions for Ukrainians from Bucharest
Within the project “RAZOM (TOGETHER) – Network of physical and mental health services adapted to the needs of Ukrainian refugees”, ICAR Foundation implements a program of psycho-social activities that also includes the organization of mixed recreational sessions for people forcibly displaced from Ukraine hosted at the level of the General Directorates of Social Work and Child Protection in Bucharest.
The role of these recreational sessions is both to create a stable parent-child relationship and to increase group cohesion, to establish a climate of trust, favorable to communication and discovering new things.
The activities are organized by the psychologist within the project, together with the intercultural mediators, and consist of visiting various interesting and educational objectives such as museums, the zoo, the botanical garden, etc. They have the role of stimulating children’s curiosity and knowledge about history, culture, flora, fauna, etc.
Creative and art workshops are also organized, as well as other leisure activities, aimed at developing the creativity, communication skills and team cooperation of both children and mothers.
The project “RAZOM (TOGETHER) – Network of physical and mental health services adapted to the needs of Ukrainian refugees” is implemented by the ICAR Foundation in partnership with the Rehabilitation Center for Torture Victims “Memoria” (RCTV Memoria) with the financial support of Active Citizens Fund Romania, programme funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through EEA Grants 2014 – 2021.
