The workshop’s aim is the discovery of art as a means of expression on themes relating to the daily life of children in order to make them aware of ‘living together’.

They sharpen their outlook on art, their knowledge of various means of expression and their ability to use various tools to express themselves.

The themes covered are adapted to their age and to the reality of their daily life: What is a friend? What is love? Why do I go to school? Should I always tell the truth? What is real? Are we all different?…
