🎙 Healing Trauma Through Art: The Power of Art Therapy in Early Childhood Education

In this episode, Samm Marshall sits down with Nadia Lubowski, Director of the Anton Lubowski Educational Trust (ALET), to explore how art therapy is transforming early childhood education, particularly for children in disadvantaged communities. With many South African children exposed to trauma, creative expression through visual arts, drama, and storytelling is proving to be a powerful tool for healing, building resilience, and fostering emotional well-being.

Nadia shares insights into ALET’s work in Philippi, Cape Town, where they are integrating arts-based, trauma-informed education to support young learners. She also discusses the role of caregivers, educators, and communities in nurturing children’s emotional and cognitive development.
