Grant Awardee Announcement

The Goethe-Institut and the International Labour Organization invite you to a photo exhibition organized to commemorate the World Day Against Child Labour (WDACL) from June 13 to June 17 at Goethe-Institut Myanmar's auditorium. 
 
The exhibition presents the story of an 11-year-old boy who, at a young age, works to support his family. From fishing to brick making, he is resourceful to make ends meet. But how about his childhood dream? The exhibition highlights the need to protect Myanmar children now more than ever. Conflicts, crises, and the COVID-19 pandemic have plunged more families into poverty – and forced more children into child labour and potentially its worst forms. Actions to counter it start with awareness. 

We are excited to announce that the “Art & Healing Certificate Workshop (Part 2)” will take place soon as part of the Program of Care 2.0 workshop series!
During these workshops, you will have the opportunity to learn how to use artistic methods to address and manage your emotional difficulties. Additionally, we will engage in discussions and learn from one another about the basics of mental health care, stress relief techniques, strategies for coping with trauma, how to build empathy and understanding, and ways to provide social care within our communities.
This workshop will last for five days (one session per week on June 01st, 08th, 15th, 22nd, and 24th). It will be led by Dr. San San Oo (psychiatrist, EMDR psychotherapist, and artist) and Dr. Aung Min (mental health instructor, practitioner, and art therapist) from Aung Mental Health Initiative. At the end of the workshop, all participants will be awarded a certificate by the Aung Mental Health Initiative.
