CONCEPT

The idea behind this art workshop moved around providing creative and imaginary-thinking activities to children in the area.

Its essential foundation was to lead kids and teenagers towards a deeper reflection on their social environment and to develop a better use of their imaginative resources in order to shape them and materialize them in a fun way.

TECHNIQUES

Using educational methods that promote idea generation and free creative thinking, together with an empathic attitude towards the environment and the people that inhabit it, art was used as an instrument for kids to become explorers of themselves and their external environment, to discover, learn and think..
