POD Launches “Colors of Resilience” Psychosocial Support Activities for Children at Al-Durra Shelter Center
The Palestinian Organization for Development (POD) launched the activities of the “Colors of Resilience” project at Al-Durra Shelter Center. The project provides children with structured psychosocial support activities that combine play, creative expression, and positive group interaction.
The first session began with breathing exercises designed to help children reduce tension and regain a sense of calm. This was followed by a gratitude activity, during which the children were encouraged to identify and share simple things that give them comfort and strength.
The children also participated in collage-making using coloured paper, allowing them to express their feelings freely through shapes and images. Clay-modelling activities provided another practical way for them to communicate emotions and use their energy positively. The session concluded with group singing, encouraging participation and creating a positive ending to the activity.
Through the “Colors of Resilience” project, POD contributes to creating safe and supportive spaces where children can play, express their emotions, strengthen social interaction, and receive age-appropriate psychosocial support.
