IDEA:

Our aim is to build a platform for the groups of young artists from regions of the world affected by various tragedies – natural disasters, political conflicts, homelessness and poverty and show that art gives a chance to overcome traumatic experiences and break free of destructive limitations. For all kids, including those coming from the wealthy world, we offer a chance to build confidence in their own competence and appreciate the value of their own artistic expression. We also try making a counterweight to conformist, mass-distributed pop culture. We believe this to be an important step towards shaping the future of the participants of the project and their communities. 

MOVIE: Invitation for groups to join us.

Language isn’t a perfect tool, especially when working with different cultures, countries etc. Emails and telephones often fail when it comes to show such a complex project as Brave Kids. To express the beauty of tolerance, cooperation and intense emotions that are behind the idea and to send a message to the kids all around the world, we needed more than just a clip – we needed a piece of art itself. This art can channel intensive emotional bonds that are born during the Brave Kids workshops.
Thanks to Valium4kids crew, especially to Grzegorz Korczak and Michał Korynek, we managed to create a tool for communication with children artistic groups from around the world.
Please enjoy the beauty of this movie and pass it over! We believe that this clip will get to the kids who work on their backyards on any kinds of art, and that they will contact us to join next editions of Brave Kids programme. What's even more – it has already worked!
