Inclusive and diverse art - Family Days for Ukrainian refugee families

Being selected for the Culture Helps project (to support Ukrainian displaced people and the Ukrainian Cultural and Creative Sectors) we offer regular museum learning events for Ukrainian children. Aimed at families, the artistic activities are hold in the permanent exhibition of the György Ráth Villa (Art Nouveau – a Hungarian Perspective) and its workshop, and thus the relaxed, intimate atmosphere of a direct encounter with the works of art and the subsequent creative sessions would further their integration into the community.

This project aims to promote equal opportunities, equal access, inclusion and equity through artistic techniques and creative activities. These events also give families the opportunity to learn about the lives of the multifaceted artists and create opportunities for mutual acceptance and understanding. Diversity-friendly practices and methods help families to integrate. The project also gives children the opportunity to try out different art tools and techniques at the family events. Throughout its course, the creative programme, which draws on the use of special and unique technical means, will clearly contribute to the development of social skills and provide positive experiences. It will further the social integration of the children, and boost their self-confidence. Creation, sharing, discussion and the expression of opinions at these family events will further the processing of traumas and the development of social skills.
