1003. Creative stories and painting for children
This group was applying for funds to organise five gatherings in community centres and schools in Maastricht. During these events, children will listen to stories in Dutch, English and Farsi and then create works of art using different materials. The project aims to help children communicate in several languages, develop their creativity and to create connections in the neighbourhood.
The first gathering took place on April 25, 2026. 4 more meetings took place in 2026.

Progress Update
The project Paint-Story was successfully completed. From April through October 2026, 5 free workshops were organized for primary school children in grades 1 through 8. Each session combined storytelling with drawing and painting, encouraging children to use their imagination and creativity.
The final workshop took place on 17 October 2026 at Sint Pieter Community Centre and was based on the story Flotsam. Afterwards, an exhibition showcased the artworks created by the children. At the end of the event, all participants were able to take their artwork home.
The project had a multilingual approach (Dutch, English, and Farsi) and brought together children from diverse backgrounds. With the successful completion of the workshop series and the exhibition, all planned activities were carried out and the project has been concluded.
