About the project

In 2023, Nadiya ry became a co-recipient of an Erasmus grant. The grant was awarded for a two-years project in collaboration with four other international associations in France, Italy, Jordan and Armenia working with refugees.

The project aims to create a handbook of comprehensive tools for self-care and regulation for professionals interacting with the refugees and other traumatised populations, so that they can use it for self-care & stress management for themselves and for their clients.

The tools are based on CCA methodology (Clarity, Creativity, Action), that unites embodiment, art therapy and drama therapy.

In addition to the handbook, a series of trainings will be held presenting the methodology hands-on to a wide range of professionals and specialists who are engaged in working with the refugees and dislocated people.

Registration

15 applicants will be chosen to participate in the second onsite training!

Deadline for the application - 18.10
