How do the political climate and asylum policies in the Netherlands affect the work and effectiveness of De Vrolijkheid?

De Vrolijkheid's program addresses the significant challenges faced by children in asylum centers, such as disrupted routines, lack of resources, and emotional trauma resulting from displacement. By providing creative outlets, the foundation helps children develop coping mechanisms, build self-esteem, and strengthen family bonds. The workshops also aim to counteract negative narratives about asylum seekers often seen in the media.
