Painting what you can't say
How are affected children helped?
Children in particular benefit from art therapy, as they find it especially difficult to talk about feelings and events. With the help of specialised staff, we can help children and young people to come to terms with their experiences and give children's souls "wings" again.
Our lounges are particularly - In the Circus wagon at the ZuvAHRsicht in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler (On the GREEN) and in Schleiden/Gemünd at the catholic primary school (Müsgesauel 27) we offer free of charge the opportunity to process what they have experienced in a safe, comfortable space. Our Art therapist supports the children on site with its many years of experience and expertise. Group and individual therapies are offered. The programme is available to all affected children and young people.

What is art therapy?
Art therapy is a form of therapy that uses artistic means to gain access to thoughts and feelings. With the help of a wide range of materials from pencils and paper to brushes and canvas to clay, stone or wood, the children/young people work creatively under the guidance of the therapist, deal with their own issues and "develop" resources. Here, inner processes can be visualised, worked on and further developed.
With the help of different materials and artistic means, resources can be discovered, strategies developed and self-healing powers strengthened.
When is art therapy useful?
Access through artistic creation makes it easier for many people, especially children and young people, to open up and engage in the therapeutic process.
In what context does art therapy take place?
Art therapy takes place in an individual or group setting. The duration of the therapy sessions, how often and at what intervals they take place, is variable and can be adapted to the individual needs of the respective children/young people. The programme is scheduled for 20 hours a week and can be extended as required. The open groups per session consist of 10-15 children, the small groups consist of 3 children, i.e. up to 150 children per week can be supported in their trauma processing with art therapy.
What methods are used?
Art therapy approaches are based on depth psychology, systemic, behavioural therapy, learning theory and anthroposophical approaches, among others.
As far as artistic methods are concerned, it is up to the therapist to decide which he or she considers appropriate for working with individual children or young people. In general, however, the entire spectrum of visual arts is available - from paper and pencil, collage, chalks, watercolours and acrylic paints to clay, wood and stone, there are no limits to the imagination.
The offer is aimed at:
Children and young people who are helped to overcome verbal blocks through creative work in order to work on their individual issues. The focus is on traumatised children, adolescents and young adults in the flood area

Colourful iron-on bead magic
Almost all children are familiar with iron-on beads - but a special surprise awaited them at the painting circus: iron-on beads that glow in the dark!
Creative experimentation with salt and watercolours
In the painting circus, we ventured into the exciting technique of salt painting.
The children came curiously into the circus wagon and listened attentively to my instructions, because for many of them this way of painting was completely new.
Colourful snipping fun for the little ones
Colourful snippets, little hands and lots of joy of discovery!
In the creative course for the youngest artists (3-5 years) in the painting circus, paper was happily torn, glued and decorated.
Winter magic - small hands, big creativity
At our Winter Magic family course, mums and dads and their children aged 3 and over came to the painting circus.
Our Granny crochet course - a creative start!
At ZuvAHRscht, we invited people to a Granny crochet course - and it was wonderful to see how many beginners had the courage to just get started.

Crispy, creative & really tasty
The children made their own lattice potatoes in the cookery and baking workshop - from cutting to frying.
Pizza snails and moments of happiness
Parallel to our fantastic campaign day (winter landscape in a shoebox), our meeting café was also open - and it really came alive!
Enchanting mini winter worlds
Things got particularly creative at our painting circus. ❄️🎨
On our activity day, the children created a winter landscape in a shoe box with a lot of imagination and joy.
Creating pictures with imagination and numbers
What would it be like to create real works of art from numbers? That was the idea for this afternoon.
Moments of happiness in a glass
The basic idea of this offer is actually explained quite simply: you collect beautiful moments, small successes or endearing experiences in a jar.
