The Refugio Art Workshop (free of charge)

The Refugio Art Workshop Refugio Kunstwerkstatt offers regular groups in some shelters for refugee children from Ukraine. The groups are meant to be a place of rest and arrival.  Creative work is done with different materials and techniques. In addition, we offer art workshops for Ukrainian children in our own rooms in the Art Lab2 every Monday from 1 to 4 p.m. and every Tuesday from 12 to 3 p.m. in cooperation with the Ukrainian Cultural Center Gorod. The children have the opportunity to express themselves creatively, for example by painting or handicrafts. In the meantime, the parents can get into contact with each other in a relaxed atmosphere in a tea room. Young people are also welcome to come to our regular weekly workshops at Kunstlabor2. Photography, art and music workshops are offered. The group offerings are intended to provide a protected space and thus contribute to the psychological stability of the participants.

Marvin Scheler will gladly accept registrations and questions about the offerings at marvin.scheler@refugio-muenchen.de.
The staff is looking forward to seeing you!
