Talisman box
Make your own lucky charm
In collaboration with LuKiArt vzw
Saint-Martens-Latem
For children and AYAs aged 3 to 39 years
When non-profit organisation LukiArt from Sint-Martens-Latem crossed SuperNils' path, ideas started bubbling along both sides. LukiArt is a non-profit organisation that has chosen "Art tailored to the sick child" as its charity. As such, they naturally fit in perfectly with our objectives. So during a brainstorming session, the idea of the "Art box" was born, with which to create a lucky charm.
An "Art box" contains all kinds of sustainable materials, put together by the people of LuKiArt vzw. The materials were carefully selected and washed so that they do not pose any danger to the children. This was done under the supervision of a number of doctors and professors. The box also contains a card with a QR code. Through this code, the children can watch a film, in which they get the necessary explanation and inspiration, given by artists of LuKiArt vzw themselves.
The aim of this interactive box is to art a talisman (yes yes, not tinker!), which can then be hung on the bedside. From this lucky charm, the children then draw the necessary strength to keep fighting their illness. Moreover, parents, friends and family can hang all kinds of things on the talisman to give it extra strength. The picture shows one of the contrived lucky charms in advance. The bigger it gets, the more strength one will be able to draw from it.
The Talisman boxes used to be handed out during the annual SuperNils Day for children at UZ Gent, UZ Antwerp and UZ Leuven. However, as we no longer organise these days, we have found another way to deliver these boxes to you.
If you would like to make one of these lucky charms, you (or one of your parents) can request a box using the form below. It requires a little bit of administration as we definitely want to be in order with the privacy policy and mandatory GDPR rules. Sorry about that. However, the box itself and the fun activity inside will soon make you forget this!
The box is, thanks to LuKiArt vzw and vzw SuperNils free for you and will be sent to the address provided.
Because in your request to receive a talisman box, we ask about the hospital where you are being treated, we are required to have an additional consent form (see opposite) completed and signed for approval. Indeed, this question falls under the processing of sensitive information and health data. By completing and signing the form, you know exactly how vzw SuperNils handles this information.
Be sure to check out our privacy policy, which can be found in the footer of this website.
You can download the form here. Fill it in, sign it and then scan it with your mobile phone (or take a photo). You can then upload it in the application form and send it to us.
