The Art of Healing Violence

Taught how to express their feelings with shapes and colors, the children at the Queen Rania Family and Child Center in Jordan use paint, brushes, and paper to build confidence in their emotions and discover their dignity and identity. The art program, along with other activities such as group yoga and drama class, teaches the children to trust themselves, and builds the self-confidence necessary to deal with traumatic experiences like child abuse and domestic violence.

This is a great video. I went to poor school in Joran that did not do lot of skill teaching only abusing the students. I hope most schools in Jordan will try to learn from this school.
