ABOUT US

Wayfinding began in 2022 as a response to the arrival of people displaced by the war in Ukraine. Developed together with members of the Ukrainian community in The Hague, the project was created to support people experiencing isolation, loss, and the challenges of rebuilding life in a new country. Today, it welcomes displaced people, migrants, and other newcomers from many backgrounds.

At the heart of Wayfinding are small-group therapeutic programmes that combine psychoeducation, creative and body-based practices, and guided group reflection. Together, participants explore themes such as stress, trauma, identity, belonging, relationships, and adaptation, while building trust, resilience, and meaningful connections with others. The groups provide a safe and supportive space where people can share experiences, discover new ways of coping, and strengthen their wellbeing.

Alongside the therapeutic groups, Wayfinding offers events, meet ups and participant-led activities that help people stay connected to themselves and others. Many participants continue as volunteers and peer facilitators, supporting others while building agency and lasting friendships. Together, we are growing a caring community.

Stichting Thich Present explores how participatory practices can respond to complex social and ecological challenges. Working at the intersection of art, activism, and social work, we develop long-term projects that foster critical reflection, radical imagination, and create new moments of care.


We are grateful to people and organisations that have supported us with their knowledge, insight, and creativity!
