Onlineprinters donates EUR 5,000 to youth welfare organisation / Catalogue from art therapy for young people (FOTO)

London (ots) -

Onlineprinters has continued its support of Refugio, a non-profit
counselling and treatment centre for traumatised refugees, by
donating EUR 5,000 this year. Along with the donation, Onlineprinters
printed exhibition catalogues of project pictures made in art therapy
class. The catalogue highlights the healing effect of art to process
traumatic experiences. This makes the catalogue a valuable tool for
Refugio to support their public relations and as a gift to donors and
sponsors. The centre offers various services to help young refugees
find their way back to a normal life after suffering traumatic
experiences.

"On the move" exhibition catalogue

The art workshop of Refugio exhibits pictures from refugee
children about being on the move and has issued an accompanying
exhibition catalogue. Margit Papamokos, who founded the art workshop
25 years ago, emphasises the importance of artistic expression: "Art
is a very effective means to communicate with children and
adolescents who fled their home, non-verbally at first allowing
language barriers to be overcome." In the next step, they talk about
the pictures which promotes language. Throughout the artistic
process, the children have an experienced art therapist of the
association at their side.

Migration resolution signed

The online print shop has been supporting Refugio for several
years now. "Onlineprinters employs people from more than 20 nations
including refugees. Refugio makes an important contribution to
integrating them. And companies such as ours benefit from these
efforts as well," points out Michael Fries, the CEO of
Onlineprinters. Back in November, Onlineprinters signed a resolution
calling for politicians to step up their efforts to integrate
refugees.

The adhesive bound exhibition catalogue has 76 pages. 800 copies
were printed on FSC certified paper. It can be requested via
press@onlineprinter.com free of charge. The greenhouses gases
generated during production were compensated for within the scope of
our carbon neutral printing programme.
