As part of this project, the associations Sourrire and Ryse joined forces to organize artistic and well-being workshops aimed at strengthening family bonds in a complex migratory context. From May to September 2024, painting and writing workshops helped 80 children and young people, along with their families, overcome isolation and discover therapeutic tools. Art served as a means of expression and communication for all participants, regardless of their linguistic origins. The regained confidence fostered integration, notably through participation in other activities such as language courses offered by the project organizers.

The project concluded with a public event where several refugees, through the writing workshops, shared their moving stories. They provided an intimate and authentic perspective on the challenges faced by those seeking refuge and safety in a new country. For many, it was the first time they spoke publicly about these past and ongoing hardships.
