Summer@CHNP

During the workshops, these young people will created masks, costumes and characters that represented them. There were no limits to the creation of their own universe.

The impact of creating a musical object helps to rebuild self-esteem through the achievement of a concrete project. It helps to boost self-confidence and shows people as human beings before people with mental health issues. In this way, musical practice becomes a place for socialisation that can be a laboratory for experimenting with psychological therapy.

The young patients in juvenile psychiatry of the CHNP had the opportunity to write a rap text, accompanied by the rapper Forsan, but also to create a choreography around their song and music thanks to the dancer Marc Folschette, and to shoot a video of it.

In this project from the Fondation EME, music participated to fight against one's own isolation.

The video got published on our platform during the mental health week.

For two weeks, the 12 teenagers living at the CHNP benefited from a training where they learned hip-hop. The youngsters were able to write their own texts and present them at the end.

The objective of this training was to give them a new self-esteem and a way to communicate their fears, dreams and problems.
