Why we exist

Children exposed to war or exile often carry their trauma in silence.

Fekra uses art to break this silence.

Our mission:

  • helping children express and transform their pain through creativity and play
  • defending freedom of expression and human dignity
  • preserving children's stories and memories through theatre and animation
  • training and supporting artists who become educators and community actors
  • building bridges between Gaza and refugee communities in Europe
  • encouraging dialogue, understanding and peace through art

Our approach

Drawing on over 20 years of experience, Fekra's methodology is both trauma-sensitive, adaptable and deeply human :

  • narration collaborative
  • animation en stop-motion
  • théâtre d’ombres
  • marionnettes et jeu symbolique
  • improvisation théâtrale
  • arts visuels et sensoriels

Today more than ever, children need creativity to bear the horrors they see every day.
