SOS children's villages - Poland
This year again the Royal Talens Foundation has collaborated a lot with SOS children's villages. Likewise in Poland, where various art classes, workshops and other activities were held for the children and teenagers.
The lessons aim to provide children with therapeutic effect and to develop their creative thinking skills, going beyond imposed limitations. The lessons were a good basis for developing creativity, partly thanks to the products donated by the Royal Talens foundation. Encouraging the youngest to learn new things it is always a difficult task that requires not only patience and systematicity, but also an innovative approach and the high-class materials. The amazing RT materials supported our young artists in revealing the unusual hidden ability to may create beautiful objects – it was a healing experience for children’s broken self-confidence and self-value. The staff from the SOS children’s villages could arouse natural curiosity more easily within children, and fascinate them with the creation process from the beginning till the very end, so as a result it is great to see a spark of joy in their eyes.
And nothing is as satisfying as creating a situation for the children to discover the world on their own!
