Art therapy is a means of expression, a communication tool that represents the imaginary through the non-verbal. The present work is a proposal for a project to be carried out in Universities, in order to try and experiment with students the language of symbols, specifically the paint, draw, shape, dance, write, recite: activities in which all the senses are stimulated. Art therapy is an ideal instrument when, for students of all ages, in situations of "crisis" or at the margins of the social context, anxiety and stress cause somatization disorder, when you cannot reproduce existential dramas or tragic events, when verbal expression is impossible or deficit for various causes so the bodily and psychological integrity is at risk or compromised.
