4. PCC is more financially sustainable and flexible
Me and the Environment

Exploration trips to healthy environments with 360 children in order to learn new aspects about the relationship between them and their environment. Children develop new attitudes and new tools for change that they will apply in accompanying workshops in the refugee camp.

Sync & Harmony
Purpose of project
Weekly, creative workshops revolving around singing, dancing and percussion with children of all ages and background. At first, children start building resilience through enjoying a more child-appropriate space with creativity and, secondly, trying and learning a variety of art tools for expanding their space of action (violent behaviour), representing themselves in a culturally new way and creating a new (camp) reality

The Film Method
Purpose of project
Short movie scripts will be written based on children’s experiences where the children will introduce the problems and solutions. In turn, the children enact the roles in order to learn and practice constructive approaches to solve conflicts. In the last stage, these movies will be screened and taken as the bases for reflection with school classes and families; as well as being available online for wider audiences.
