Children’s hospital Volunteer

Hands shape, play, communicate. Hands speak. For us, having a hand in something has a special meaning when it comes to working with clay! In clay modelling, thoughts and emotions take shape through the hands: the profound experience of hands in direct contact with material releases tension and pain and helps people forget about their ordeals: the clay melts it all away. Nothing is irreversible and you can always roll it all back up into a ball and start over.

Our workshops

Permanent workshops

Permanent workshops

This kind of workshop is the traditional way the Foundation works. They provide valuable support to help people cope with a period of sickness. They are permanent clay modelling workshops offering a recreational space every week to children in hospital.
The workshops are held in the children’s departments of Italian hospital facilities that accommodate long-stay patients, mainly in Oncology, Day-Hospital and Neuropsychiatry departments.

Special workshops

Special workshops

These are projects carried out in different situations of disease and social disadvantage (such as earthquake-affected areas and children with SMA), in facilities or associations that work with serious and chronic conditions in childhood and adolescence. 
These workshops are of limited duration and are mainly organised as travelling projects.
