The Impact of the Lisbon Project Summer Art Project

A safe and creative outlet

The Lisbon Project works with migrant and refugee families who often face challenging circumstances. The art sessions have revealed some of the difficult situations these children endure. After eight sessions, it became evident that many of these children have caregivers struggling with economic, social, or adaptive challenges as they integrate into Portuguese society. These challenges can lead to parental burnout, frustration, and even depression.

Recognizing the importance of supporting these children, the Lisbon Project continues to provide a safe and creative outlet for them to express their emotions and experiences through art.
