Play Away Projects
Here you will find the various projects on offer, the Play Away Projects, but above all details of the Play Away Days.
This was a project that lasted a year and a half, aimed at Ukrainian refugees hosted in Provence.
Most of them did not speak French and some were very isolated in villages, with children having few opportunities to meet other young people with whom to play in their mother tongue.
The six charters
Among the initiatives on offer are letters from traumatised parents and children, various videos…
Discover the six charters that can be shared and used, for example, by NGOs:
Charter of Children’s Rights – Charter on Multilingualism – Charter for Play Away Days Participants – Charter for Creative Group Participants – Charter of Children’s Rights in Therapy – Charter on Children’s Right to Play
Mini training sessions
The mini-training sessions are aimed at coordinators and facilitators who already have an ongoing project or who wish to explore certain principles and practices proposed within the framework of these initiatives, but are also available for the Game of Relationships.
These mini-training sessions include workshop proposals for their teams, enabling the recruitment of future collaborators and the clarification of objectives.
Enormous therapeutic benefits
The Play Away Days project has shown that it is possible to offer all kinds of projects with enormous therapeutic benefits in certain emergency situations, particularly for traumatised populations who have the right and the need to move beyond their trauma as soon as possible.
Whilst acknowledging the practical constraints involved in organising this type of project, these cannot justify waiting too long, as this would result in even more severe trauma setting in.
These initiatives are aimed at all populations falling under the 3 ‘P’s:
- in precarious situations,
- on the margins of society (isolated, imprisoned, in psychiatric care, in the justice system)
- facing acute crises (economic hardship, exiles, refugees, natural disasters, war zones, etc.).
