Refugee support
Ute Bock Haus is the refugee support organization in Austria. Our team offers drop-in psychotherapy, crisis interventions, and event organizing in multiple languages. I also take charge in children's activities through playing such as physical activities, drawing, games and going-out.http://www.fraubock.at/home/
Contact EducationOur society does not teach how to close and contact people. Contact education is for adults, youth and children. Our bodies involve personal space therefore entering others' space and inviting people into the space are the art of communication. We experience experimental encounters through body and emotional expressions without talking. Music and dance are border-less! Experience
