The DARTE Project
This project is, in first place, for young people experiencing emotional and behavioural difficulties. These difficulties may be existing for various reasons and so, these young people benefit from a time away from the daily pressures of their lives in a warm, calm and creative environment where they can find new ways of relating with themselves and the realities around them.
The Darte Sessions take place in schools and institutions that request the service and refer the students, our Darte Students.
The Darte method has its roots in The Art Room model: art as therapy sessions in a warm, safe and stimulating environment, where positive reinforcement plays a central role.
