Non-profit organisation WORDS AND DEEDS

Art as a tool for charitable projects

The non-profit organisation WORDS AND DEEDS collaborates with psychosocial institutions, aid associations and cultural associations with charitable purposes for innovative projects. We want to implement "words and deeds" together with our network of artists to set up supportive projects. We see art as a tool for healing, but it also promotes important issues, raises awareness and can be used as a tool to reach target groups, where they are.

●  a safe place to dream, network, hope and realize.
●  a network of artists of all genres, who want to help the world and people.
●  an innovative tool. It enables our art to bring positive change and hope.
●  a guidepost. We want to show people who are searching where they can get support. We would like to cooperate with like-minded organizations to carry out joint projects.
●  a publisher for topics such as depression, panic attacks, questions of meaning, joy of life, etc.
