As part of the ongoing Arts Education Programme at the State Gallery of Contemporary Art – Majestic, a series of innovative and inclusive Psychoeducational workshops are launched, in collaboration with Kuns Studio - Functional Sculpture, inviting adolescents and adults with a range of abilities. 

Participants of typical development or not, are invited to explore issues of individual and collective identity and acceptance, through an interactive tour of selected artworks of the State Art Collection. The participants will have the opportunity to create artworks using clay, and express their thoughts and feelings on the issues that will emerge through the plasticity of the material by exploring the world of sculpture. 

This Psychoeducational Program aims to provide a framework for the promotion of equal access to culture, and the opportunity to cultivate artistic and emotional intelligence skills among the participants.

The program is also designed for special groups (i.e. people with disabilities or neurodevelopmental disorders) and is being implemented through the collaboration of Elpida Fragkeskidou, Artist and Founder Kuns Studio - Functional Sculpture Studio and Showroom (MA Fine Arts & Arts Education) - and Art Psychotherapist Eleni Petridou Psychotherapy (Ma Fine Arts & Arts Education), with the view to welcome teenagers and adults with a range of abilities to a museum environment, where they can enjoy cultural goods and develop empathy.
