Drawing together hope: 'listening' to militarised children
1Tearfund, Teddington, Middlesex, UK.
Abstract:
Art can be used as both a therapeutic tool and a communication tool. Art has been used with refugees/militarised children but has tended to focus on their pathology. Art in this study was used to explore children's hopes for their future. Children talk more when they are/have drawn what they are trying to describe. Art can be used to understand children's world-view and explore their beliefs and opinions.
