This year, give yourself the license to explore and create with Gina A. Alfonso

MAGIS welcomed the last month of 2018 with a workshop for social workers in the service of online sexually exploited children. In partnership with World Hope International, an organization whose work in the country primarily encompasses child sponsorship programs and aid for human trafficking victims, we trained social workers on trauma-informed expressive arts practice. Unlike usual lecture-based trainings, however, the workshop allowed the participants to experience activities they themselves could do with their clients. We painted, we danced, we acted, and we allowed the arts to invite us into learning and reflection.
