This is what female empowerment sometimes looks like! A group of teenage girls fully engaged and proud to create something meaningful; today, their own lip balm from scratch. A small win, but one that carries big meaning! 🩷

Young children at the camp became chefs, mixing, serving, laughing, imagining and discovering that participation in cooking activities can be food for the soul, as well!
Through play, they nourished the deep need we all share: to lead meaningful lives, even in uncertain places. 💛
A big thank you to Sofia Orfanidou .sof_, our wonderful occupational therapy student, for co-creating this joyful moment!

In the refugee camp, a group of women meets with occupational therapists to craft toys for their children. This is more than making objects, it is participation in meaningful occupations that nurture agency, connection, and hope. Through creativity and care, the women support their children in a context where resources are scarce, while also reclaiming the power of doing things together. 🩷🙌

Our good friends and colleagues in Brazil presented our collaboration at the Brazilian National Seminar for Research in Occupational Therapy. They shared how Social Occupational Therapy, grounded in a historical-materialist and dialectical perspective in pediatric and forced displacement contexts, can transform occupational therapy practices.

These insights resonate strongly with our work in the Bridging project, where we have been reflecting on how we can reshape the way we view our own contribution, our clients’ place, and the ways we connect, coexist and co-create through occupations. At the same time we have been asking ourselves questions about how we can approach meaning-making, choices, language, intentionality, and awareness using our strengths while also moving beyond the limitations that our histories or contexts may impose.
