Defence and Veterans Families Community Art Day
We hosted two inspirational days at our Chatswood head office, where families of current and former serving ADF members came together to connect through art. It was wonderful to see different generations get together and create meaningful art together.
In our focus on creating an inclusive space for all families connected to defence, this event was a testament to how inclusive our community truly is. Different generations of war widows, children of veterans , partners of veterans, grand-children of veterans connected through a common project and it was wonderful to host such days that are highlighting, once again, the real need for our community to find support from their peers. No one understands better than the person who has, or who is, walking the same path.
We will be hosting more events like this as they are crucial for families to get together, subscribe to our wellbeing newsletter here to be the first to find out or register your interest by email wellbeing@fov.org.au.
Defence & veterans families embraced the magic of art and creativity
In a world that’s constantly moving, taking a moment to create art can be a powerful way to reconnect with ourselves and those we love. Whether it’s painting, drawing, crafting, or any other form of artistic expression, the act of creating together can bring immense joy and strengthen bonds.
🌟 Why Art Matters:
▪ Self-Expression: Art allows us to express our thoughts, feelings, and ideas in unique ways.
▪ Stress Relief: Engaging in creative activities can be incredibly therapeutic and relaxing.
▪ Boosts Creativity: It encourages us to think outside the box and explore new perspectives.
👨👩👧👦 Bonding with Loved Ones:
▪ Quality Time: Creating art together is a wonderful way to spend quality time with friends and family.
▪ Shared Memories: The process of making art together creates lasting memories and stories to cherish.
▪ Encourages Teamwork: Collaborating on a project fosters teamwork and communication.
