This origami workshop is designed as an accessible and inclusive space where participants can slow down, focus on creative activities, and share a safe environment to connect with others.
Would you like to join us? We look forward to seeing you

Participation is free and open to everyone but available places are limited.
The art of origami is a Japanese practice based on the transformation of paper through intentional and precise folds. It’s a simple gesture that requires focus, patience and care, slowly turning a flat sheet into a unique three‑dimensional creation.
Within this IMMERSED workshop, origami becomes a tool to develop soft skills, encourage intercultural dialogue and create a shared space of well‑being, where creativity and community intersect.
IMMERSED – Ensuring employment sustainability and financial resilience through a multi-layered model of well-being and immersion for Ukrainian Refugees in local communities is a project founded by ESF+ Social Innovation+ Initiative.
