The “Art Lab” is part of Dreama’s ongoing efforts to boost the self-confidence and develop life skills of its children. Over two days, Dreama’s children and social and psychological specialists benefited from intensive workshops focused on expressive arts, particularly creative writing and acting. These workshops provided an opportunity for the children to express their thoughts, feelings, and aspirations.

Empowering Orphans through The Arts
Through this initiative, Dreama sought to empower its children by using the arts as a means of self-expression and understanding the challenges they face indirectly. Social and psychological specialists were trained on how to facilitate these activities and guide the children in using the arts to freely and effectively express themselves.

At the closing ceremony, a discussion was held among experts, UNESCO trainers, and Dreama participants to exchange insights and lessons learned from the workshops. Recommendations were also made for addressing the challenges discovered during the program.

The event featured artistic performances by the children themselves, showcasing their progress in writing and acting.
