What is Safe Sharing Spaces by Saturday Art Class?
The pandemic and the resulting lockdown, the constant media focus on the number of fatalities in the country and the world as well as the stress of ensuring safety, health and wellbeing of self and family have left children mentally and emotionally drained out. Children have been confined to indoor spaces without having an outlet or channel to express their feelings and emotions.
Keeping this reality in mind, Teach for India and Saturday Art Class have come together to provide 'Safe Sharing Spaces' to children to aid in self-recovery during this time.
How will children benefit?
An integration of Social Emotional Learning and Art sessions to help children:
- Become more aware of how they feel about the current situation
- Have a safe space to express
- Have time in the week dedicated to their well-being
- Develop a creative and artistic way of expression
