On Saturday, February 3rd 2018 a Workshop about trauma took place in the School of Sura Mica lead by Marianne Herzog. Despite of the beginning of the holidays and that the Workshop took place on  Saturday, more than 30 persons attended; teachers from Rusciori and Sura Mica, social workers, a psychologist and freelancers of the Kinderbauerndorf where the children from Rusciori can spend their sparetime.

One topic was how we can create a safe place for caregivers that these people are able to give the safe place to their students/children who live in very difficult domestic circumstances. The second topic was how we can create effectiveness. Due to the fact that trauma is always linked to the lost of effectiveness and to a huge feeling of helplessness these feelings are given to the caregivers when they take care of the traumatised children. With positive activities and with giving back their effectiveness (cooking, baking, playing, making sports, planting...) these affected children can find relief, can be stabilised and can be helped to cope with their traumatic experiences.
