🎭😄 COMIC RELIEF | WP3 – Piloting Sessions
Over the past three months, we ran 3 co-construction workshops with young people — creative, joyful, and deeply meaningful. 💛

📅 March 30 | April 27 | May 25, 2026

🎯 Why these workshops?
As part of the European project #ComicRelief, co-funded by the European Union, we are exploring how humour and creativity can help young people (aged 16–30) deal with stress, anxiety and social isolation. No theory without practice — we experiment first, with them, for them.
These piloting sessions are at the heart of the project: co-designing a method that truly works, before turning it into a handbook for youth professionals.

What we explored:
✨ Improvisation theatre
🤡 Clown therapy
✂️ Collage & hands-on activities
🖌️ Painting & artistic expression

Laughing together is also a way to reconnect — with yourself and with others. These workshops showed us that humour is a genuine tool for resilience. 💪
What's next? We'll share our results with European partners in Slovakia this summer, to finalize the handbook and video tutorials together.

🇪🇺 Co-funded by the European Union.
