Discover below on this webpage more than 300 beads representing painful childhood experiences, sources of support and inner strength. More than 130 children and adults have each contributed a bead, sharing a piece of their personal stories. Together, they form City Jewel, a powerful collective artwork offering vital recognition for childhood trauma survivors on their healing journeys.
SOS Children’s Villages Belgium and the therapeutic center Ter Wende-Espero believe that ‘City Jewel’ is a place of recognition to everyone who has experienced childhood trauma. City Jewel, as a place of recognition, is part of a broader movement of people and organizations striving for a trauma-sensitive society. The work is co-funded by the Flemish Government and the National Lottery.
