participants
The goal of the event was to show the students (both local and Erasmus) that you can create beautiful decorations without spending lots of money, to recognise their artistic skills, to recycle art materials used last year, to encourage an international dialogue and talk about mental health.
Every person that signed up for the event received a white candle, set of paints and brushed as well as water and something to eat. The task was to paint the candle in any style. During the event students talked with each other, met new people, mixed up with students from different countries. Some of the students showed incredible artistic skills and created beautiful candles. We recycled materials from last year which allowed us to reduce waste. As artistic events greatly influence mental health, all participants could relax and calm down.
