 Saturday 23 May 2020 14:00 – 15:00 UTC The webinar aims to exchange experiences and expertise on arts education in humanitarian programmes through 3 points of view. It is recognized that artistic practices are a source of well-being and would help to develop this potential, especially among young people and children in war zones and situations of displacement (refugee camps, etc.). The emergency humanitarian system provides child protection and education programmes in emergency situations carried out by United Nations organizations and international and national NGOs. These programmes often rely on artistic practices to develop non-formal, alternative and more responsive methods of education. Through this webinar, we propose to three participants who have facilitated and/or observed workshops on artistic practices in humanitarian interventions to share their practices, their reflections on the issues at stake and their advice.
