🌍 What an inspiring journey it has been lately! We feel incredibly grateful to take part in meaningful experiences that bring people together, and one of those unforgettable moments was the HEAL Training Course in beautiful Sardinia, Italy 🇮🇹

From May 19–25, our participants joined “HEAL” (Harmony, Empowerment, Adaptability, Link), an Erasmus+ Training Course coordinated and organized by . The project gathered youth workers from 9 different European countries with one shared goal: turning diversity into strength and creating more inclusive, empowering spaces for young people ✨

Throughout the experience, participants had the chance to explore non-formal education tools, peer education methods, and new strategies for supporting young people with fewer opportunities. It was a week filled with learning, connection, collaboration, and unforgettable cultural exchange 💫

A huge thank you to Associazione in Sardinia for their warm welcome, dedication, and incredible effort in creating such a meaningful project ❤️

Special thanks to Lois, Lola, and Tasnim for being part of this beautiful experience 🌍💛 We hope this journey brought you new perspectives, lifelong memories, and inspiration for the future! ✨️

📣 Open Call for Global Participants 📣 (whereever you come from, you are welcome to apply)!

Apply now to join our upcoming Art Residency Program in Koppang, Norway from 26 to 31 of August, 2026! 🇳🇴

This is a 6-day immersive mental health journey for youth workers, mentors, and creatives who are ready to explore the intersection of mental health and artistic expression, focusing on Art Therapy and Theatre of the Oppressed as methods for personal development and social change.

This art residency experience will be located in a rural village in Norway and you will be hosted in a traditional former-farm house, which is a farm and home for about 100 Angus cows in Koppang. This program is an open and creative space where we will use art, theater, movement and music as a bridge to the parts of ourselves that are often hard to express.

This residency offers a “double shot” of impact: it is a dedicated time for your own personal and emotional exploration, while simultaneously providing you with inspiration and methods to transfer these practices back to your work with youth and community initiatives.

If you are interested to learn more and apply to join us this summer in Norway, you can check the link in our bio now and apply. We have limited spots!

Any questions? reach out to us at [email protected]

We look forward to receiving your application and hopefully have you as part of this journey in Norway this summer 🇳🇴

Unbelievably grateful! 🙌🏼

After all the hard work to make this certification program a reality, it actually happened 👀

We can say this was one of the most open, wonderful, flexible groups we have ever worked with and until now we can’t express how grateful we are in words! Thank you for all for making it so special to work and learn together in this week journey, more than we could even expect, specially from one another! 💛☀️

Yes, the certification program was short in duration but so rich in learning that as we all agreed, it felt like months not just a few days as usual 😁. We are so grateful for each one of you, for the challenges, the joy, the laughs, and the growth we experienced together.

We are excited to see where you all go next as inspiring facilitators to promote mental health and wellbeing through your artistic approaches, making an impact on the world through your initiatives, projects, and most importantly, yourselves.

Facilitation is a powerful and beautiful tool that we believe is very essential for humans personally and professionally (we, at Yellow vs. Blue, don’t even know how life could happen without facilitation) and we are so glad and proud we managed to make another ‘Facilitation Tactics’ round happen to bring it to more beautiful people.

Thank you 💛

“One of the most powerful moments was performing the Theatre of the Oppressed, it wasn’t just acting, it was reliving our experiences, facing our fears, and finding a way to push through them” 🎭

For Rehab, this was her first time traveling, and it became one of the most important experiences of her year in 2024.

Through the program, she used art to understand her own emotions, experiences and deal with them in a different way.

Now, after 2 years, we reflect back on her experience and how she took this back to Tunisia, using painting to support healing and create space for connection.💙

Thank you Rihab, we miss you a lot! 🤍

How many times have we tried to “talk” our way through a feeling, only to end up stuck in our own heads? 🌀

Most of us are taught to learn through listening, reading, and analysing, etc.. But emotional intelligence is a muscle. That’s why we got bored of the desks and the “small talk” and started to use a stage instead :)

In YvB programs, we don’t intend to ‘train’ actors, and put on a show, but we really intend and LOVE to use theatre as a playground to figure out who we actually are when the pressure is on. 🎭

So, as we always say, in our sessions, there’s no “right” way to perform. We just get into role-plays and real-life scenarios that let you youth actually feel the situation instead of just describing it. We would say it is like the difference between reading a map and walking the trail. (we learn by doing).

By stepping into that, we get to test/drive our reactions and we also get to see how it feels to set a boundary, how our bodies react to conflict, and how much space you’re allowed to take up.

We are really excited for our next program journey in 10 days for Facilitation Tactics in Matsevani, Georgia to train a new group of arising facilitators to be able to promote mental health and wellbeing through art.

Stay tuned to learn more about our methods and updates from the program as well (oh and stories from previous participants) 💛
