SCHOOL PROJECT
PAINTED HOSPITALS ARE TOLD IN SCHOOLS
________________________
It's called HOSPITALS PAINTED SCHOOLS PROJECT, an all-color tour where artist SILVIO IRILLI will travel through Italian regions and tell school children about the significance of the Painted Hospitals project, to raise awareness of the concept of hospital reception and closeness to young patients, but also how to deal with fear during a hospital visit.
The project with one goal: all together to take away the fears of young patients!
THE PROJECT
The message that this project wants to convey to the children is the importance of solidarity, of the 'team game' that makes it possible to overcome all difficulties. The child in hospital feels alone, excluded from the world he lived in and that his companions live in every day, and showing him that instead his team is cheering for him, that his peers are waiting for him back among them, and that in the meantime they are doing something so that the process of his recovery goes as smoothly as possible, becomes an anchor of serenity that will help him to leave behind that difficult moment with the lightness he so badly needs.
SMALL PATIENTS, BUT GREAT ARTISTS!
ONE DAY MANY EMOTIONS
Children's questions, pictures, videos, with before-and-after projections of the wards for a day full of color and lots of excitement with a chance to make an art workshop with artist Irilli and donate the work to the hospital.
"When I was a child I had a dream. Today I am painting that dream for young patients".
