The humanitarian adventure
Nantes
In 2010, Intervention by Marie-Odile Brêthes and Stella Meritxell Pradier from the PATIV association in Nantes in a Roma camp: workshops given to children aged 4 to 18, out of school and some of them suffering from disorders behavior. The following trips were organized by the Accor Association and the accompaniment of the children was provided by the trainers of the Plénitude School who supervised the students.
India
April 2012: First humanitarian trip to South India Catherine Vallée and Marie-Odile Brêthes offered voluntary workshops of evolutionary art therapy® to children of two Catholic orphanages in Tamil Nadu, in Tiruvanamalai: at the Wide Home Children directed by Kumari and Xavier and in Pondicherry at Annai Velanganni Orphanage. They supervised a group of 10 people trained, or undergoing training at the Plénitude School, in supporting these workshops bringing together children from 2 to 15 years old, as well as their educators. The workshops, carried out over five days for the first, and two days for the second, highlighted the creative capacities of children, as well as their receptivity to evolutionary art therapy® as a mirror support for their resilience. Symptoms drawings, self-portraits, silhouette drawings, collective works were carried out with the children who responded exceptionally to the proposals. These children, who need care and education as much as they need expression, have shown their thirst for creativity that reflects their deep identity. February 2014: Second humanitarian trip to South India We continued to support the children of the Wide Children Home with Sylvie Lamoure and Valéry Lamoure. February 2015: Third humanitarian trip to southern India Intervention at the Arul Ashram near Pondicherry, orphanage with children with AIDS and at the Wide Children Home.
