Emotional Expression Workshop for Teenagers
Description :
“Behind the Mask”
with Psychologist – Psychotherapist Dimitra Lampropoulou
Psychologist–psychotherapist Dimitra Lampropoulou invites teenagers aged 12–15 to a two-day experiential workshop titled “Behind the Mask,” where art meets emotional expression.
Participants will create their own mask from plaster bandages — a cast of their face or another part of their body. The process will take place collaboratively, as the teens help one another “shape” their mask, experiencing a unique moment of connection, trust, and presence.
The resulting sculpture becomes a personal mirror — a space for play, expression, and transformation — where each participant has the chance to discover and express different aspects of themselves through the creative journey.
Indicative questions to be explored:
How do others see me?
What do I choose to reveal — and what do I keep protected?
What happens when I give voice to my most hidden parts?
This workshop offers self-discovery, connection, and creativity — an opportunity for teenagers to reconnect with themselves through contact with others; to see and be seen, not as they appear, but as they truly are.
The workshop may also serve as a starting point for an ongoing teen support group, for those who wish to continue the process of self-expression and sharing.
