This free two-day programme combines creative drawing with simple mindfulness exercises. It creates a calm, analogue space in which young people can learn to concentrate, relieve stress and strengthen their ability to express themselves.


Particularly against the backdrop of increasing digital sensory overload, this programme offers a low-threshold yet effective complement to existing programmes.


The central principle of the project is a consistent focus on the participants’ own ideas, themes and need for self-expression. Their own ideas are actively taken on board and integrated into the artistic work. This leads to a lasting strengthening of self-efficacy, aesthetic judgement and cultural participation. (Age group: 8–16)


1. Settling in


Breathing and awareness exercises promote presence, concentration and body awareness, and create a calm working atmosphere.


2. Warm-up


Free doodling and movement exercises relieve pressure to perform and enable a playful, open approach to drawing.


3. Deepening drawing skills


The focus is on concentrated work with lines, patterns and shapes. Repetitive movements create rhythm and encourage a meditative state of deep focus. Drawing is experienced as a process in the here and now.


4. Reflection


A guided reflection brings individual experiences to the fore and heightens awareness of changes in attention, mood and bodily sensations.


Please register. Places are limited.
