The Award and the Academies

An ongoing, country-wide dialogue. On creativity, contemporary art, photography and ‘In praise of balance’. And, why not, with a focus on the Academy Special Commendation, the award designed especially for students. This is the roadshow that enables us to meet the higher education institutes in the sectors most relevant to the Award.

Two-year Specialisation Course in Art Therapy, Brera Academy of Fine Arts, Milan

The course, the first and only one of its kind in Italy, has been held at the Brera Academy for almost twenty years and trains experts in an art that is at once therapeutic, rehabilitative and regenerative, which aims to develop self-care in a creative, profound and unique way.

Together with Federico Calogero, Youth finalist of the 2022 Award, we met up with the students of the two-year course.

We would like to thank Roberto Sala, lecturer in Integrated Expressive Techniques, and Daniela Zarro, lecturer in Didactics of Artistic Languages, for stimulating this interesting reflection between therapy, art and culture.
