CELEBRATE CULTURAL DIVERSITY
Building Connections Through Creativity
25th July, Falkenberg, Sweden
Introduction
"Art is the best possible introduction to the culture of the world. I love it for the buried hopes, the garnered memories, the tender feelings it can summon at a touch. It washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life". — Pablo Picasso
Join us for a fun and creative workshop in the beautiful city of Falkenberg (Sweden) this summer!
Designed to celebrate cultural diversity and build connections through creativity and play, this unique workshop offers you the chance to explore your inner experiences when living or traveling in different cultures. Discover how your multicultural experiences have shaped your sense of self and find creative expressions for your own cultural identity.
In addition, simple and engaging art-making activities will help you share your cultural customs and nuances, and start to understand and appreciate our differences and similarities. The workshop fosters a sense of inclusion and belonging, helping you build friendships and social networks while nurturing your inner creativity and overall wellbeing.
And of course, no Swedish experience would be complete without Fika! Delight in specialty coffee and pastries as you connect with like-minded people in a warm and welcoming space of Baraye Coffee, located at the Rian Design Museum, offering an exciting mix of culture, history and exceptional coffee.
Come and join us for this enriching and joyful celebration of cultural diversity, where creativity fosters cross-cultural dialogues and meaningful connections.

Art-oriented activities that we bring into this workshop are drawn from different art modalities (image, sound, movement, language, etc.), they involve easy and basic art techniques aimed at awakening the senses and tapping into our creativity. The focus is not on artistic proficiency; rather, art serves as a valuable tool to explore the inner resources we possess and those that art itself offers.
